My objective is to continue to work with children/people in a positive manner with opportunities for
career growth and to keep up with the cutting edge of technology. I am a qualified teacher with 6 years
of varied instructional experience. I possess a positive and effective teaching style with the willingness to
grow, learn and work beyond the call of duty. I also enjoy to work with people of all ages and to help
them to be inspired and grow.
