About me

Becoming a member of the teaching profession has caused me to take various elements of teaching into consideration. I am an actively involved teacher, attending all staff and community meetings, professional development workshops and volunteering my time. I work to build a calm classroom community that involves developing strong professional relationships with students, parents and colleagues. I wish to find a balance of not only developing my students’ education but also their character.  I continue to be a life-long learner, I seek out feedback from mentors and colleagues to grow and improve as a teacher.
