STATEMENT OF FAITH

I am currently taking the RCIA (Rite of Christian

Initiation for Adults) where I am learning about
the deep symbolisms and beliefs of the Roman
Catholic Church. I believe that God offers comfort,
confidence and a conscience of what is right and
just. I believe that faith is strengthened when
individuals come together as a community to
discuss our faith in God.

TECHNOLOGY

Excellent with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint

I expect to use apps like Remind101, StudyBlue
I enjoy multimedia like Youtube, Spotify (audio) ,
Plicker and Mentimeter to convey points
I love technology and seeing what is possible with
it. I think it can be a great learning tool.
