About

Dreaming of becoming an educator, I am currently two semesters away from earning my Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education. In this program, I have been recognized by my outstanding academic achievements and acknowledged by my enthusiasm for learning. In interest of expanding my knowledge and applying what I have been learning, I am currently working with students in my practicums, as well as tutoring peer undergraduate students in multiple education courses. By being an active member in my school and community and applying the skills I have acquired, my hope is to gain more experience and become an effective teacher that makes a difference in the lives of students.
