About me as an Educator:I am an educator that believes that all children can be successful in learning. Children come with different talents, skills, ambitions, and interests, and as a teacher it is my job to help them to identify, explore and strengthen these areas.My areas of knowledge include curriculum design and development, classroom management, student-centered learning, student motivation, multicultural awareness, cooperative learning, student assessment, whole group learning, differentiated instruction, and integrating technology.I have many years of experience in childcare, classrooms, and nanny care working with all ages of children which includes tutoring them. One of my relevant job experiences includes being an assistant teacher for a second grade classroom in a public school. Another relevant experience was being an assistant educator for the Massachusetts Audubon Society and going into various public schools to teach lessons on science and the environment. One of my most rewarding experiences included helping a 14 year old with Asperger's Disorder to become more proficient in high school reading skills. Another rewarding experience was receiving a special handmade Thank You card from a second grader whom I tutored in spelling and language arts for six months.I have recently finished my Bachelor's Degree in Independent Studies K-8, and I have recently been hired as a 3rd Grade Teacher. I feel tremendous joy when I see children succeed, and it is my career goal to help many children become successful in their academic studies, and in their future lives.About me as an artist:I love creativity, and this passion inspires me to pursue creating through various mediums ranging between traditional and digital. Besides my own creative endeavors, I have also been commissioned for my photoshop skills. In my free time I'm learning web programming and technologies, and I'm creating art for my own browser based game.
