Financial Education Specialist in the City and County Credit Union marketing department. Looking to help different twin cities communities empower themselves through finance education. Former high school business teacher looking to grow and learn everyday through new teaching experiences. I strive to help my students find their passions and motivate them to pursue and learn about topics that they find intriguing. With teaching I am always student centered and will do whatever it takes to make sure my students needs are met. Emotional intelligence is one of my greatest strengths and I use this strength to create meaningful relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. My goal as a CTE educator is to prepare students for life after high school and help them find a career path that motivates and inspires them. I want my students to not only be successful in the career of their choosing, but also inspire them to embrace cultural diversity and social responsibility wherever they work regardless of the career path they choose.
