S U M M A R Y
As a lead classroom teacher for the past several years, I am now looking towards the future, and I am excited and prepared to embark on my next chapter of professional growth. I am seeking a role that aligns with my commitment to education, and I am open to a role that extends outside of the classroom, offering a platform where my leadership skills can contribute to shaping an education-adjacent career. My goal is to leverage my expertise and passions into a position that can bring change and innovation in the field of education.
