I have been in the educational field for over 9 years. I have been exposed to an abundance of educational experiences working as a substitute teacher, an instructional assistant working with at-risk youth, a Specialized Academic teacher and a Social/Emotional Learning teacher. I really found my passion in SEL and I am planning on staying on this path within the educational field. I believe in building bright futures for the youth in our communities and SEL is assisting all students in recognizing their potential in life. I look forward to being a life-long contributor to the development of empathy and social-awareness in our youth and building stronger relationships for all.
