Strengths

My strengths as an educator lie in my experience working with diverse populations of students. I am

committed and dedicated to using student-centered ideals along with my students own unique
strengths and intelligences to differentiate my instruction so that each student succeeds in my
classroom. I am a passionate educator and collaborator, a hard worker, and I look forward to bringing
new and innovative ideas and experiences to any position.
