OBJECTIVE

I am a motivated and experienced educator with work history in middle and elementary
schools. I greatly enjoy working with upper grade students by guiding them to reach their
goals and adapt to the stressful times of adolescence. I believe that every student has the
ability to excel with the right support and a positive attitude. My ability to speak conversational
Spanish along with my ESL certification allows me to efficiently assist ELL students alongside
general and special education students.

As an educational technologist/librarian, I will aim to help students through the research

process in order to guide them towards becoming informed, critically thinking citizens along
with fostering a love of reading within each student.
