Summary

A dedicated professional, committed to creating nurturing and inclusive environments for children. My approach combines patience, a positive attitude, and empathetic listening to quickly build strong relationships. I am equally effective working independently or as part of a team, and my fluency in Tagalog further enhances my flexibility and adaptability. I have a history of successfully engaging diverse learners by enhancing their educational experiences through innovative strategies.
