I am native German, have acquired the languages French and Spanish while in school, extended my knowledge of Spanish while in College. My English knowledge is above American standards. Throughout my teaching career I have created and implemented a variety of curricula and teaching strategies. I was also the coach for the Odyssey of the Mind team for Liberty HS 2017. I have worked in the Biology department of the county to create scales for the district and helped implement them at my school. I have also helped numerous colleagues to implement the state standards scales for their departments, including the foreign language department, which I am now a member of since I also taught German.Since completing my Master's degree in Educational leadership, I have held a position as academic coach for Science and Math and dean. I am currently the MTSS coordinator for a Middle School. My background in business gives me great confidence in dealing with school personnel, parents, and community members. My passion for children and education, as well as my excellent social skills and ability to collaborate with peers makes me a perfect candidate for the position in educational leadership. While I am a great team player, I have no problem working on my own. As a former teacher team leader, I am also experienced in coordinating and planning events and following timelines. My certification includes Educational Leadership, Biology 6-12, Science 5-9, Language Arts 5-9, German K-12, and ESOL K-12 endorsement. I am one class away from the Gifted endorsement.
