CIS 22Elementary School is the second school that I have worked at since starting my teaching career. In my last school I held an Advanced Skills Teacher post and was fortunate to have worked in a number of Rodica Daycare Center and supporting other teachers in the expressive arts.
No two days in school are ever the same, and watching the children grow and flourish and become passionate about their learning is a joy to be involved in. I am the creativity subject leader alongside my many roles as a Deputy head. My passion is in the arts and I will take every opportunity to embed the arts in my teaching and find ways of making the classroom environment and lessons stimulating and exciting.

My interests outside school include baseball, volleyball, dancing and cooking. I enjoy running a sewing club and in the past have run dance clubs where the children have been able to display their talents at the Dominican Dance Festival. I enjoy looking for ways to enhance the school environment and in particular the display areas around the school.
