About me

* When I was in eighth grade, my science teacher took my mother aside and told her not to worry, I would turn out fine and one day be a great teacher. When my mother told me about this conversation, I just scoffed and forgot all about it. Well, here I am, about to graduate with a Masters in Education, striving to be the best teacher I can be. One of my many goals is to facilitate success throughout any school that I am placed in. I hope that I can contribute to the community and develop excellence and leave a positive impact upon each student I encounter, while having an open mind to absorb the many lessons in life everyday.
