ABOUT ME &
MULTICULTUR
AL
EXPERIENCE

I have wanted to be a teacher since I entered kindergarten

and saw how those amazing people helped children learn.
Since kindergarten my favorite hobby has been reading,
specifically young adult fiction. I also enjoy singing and
crafts.
I have had wonderful opportunities throughout my life to
travel to several other countries and get a broadened
perspective as a global citizen. These trips included two
countries in Europe and a trip to the Peoples Republic of
China. I feel that these parts of my personality and
experience suit me well for a career in education.
