PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
A teacher for over twenty years, my core strength as an educator is that, in every subject I teach, I can explain even the most difficult concepts in understandable, interesting and relevant ways. Along the way, I encourage my students to achieve their personal best and to become more creative, productive, and confident individuals. I teach what I am passionate about, and my goal is to empower every student.
