Summary
Former educator looking to get back into the field. I am more motivated and inspired than ever before after an extensive break. During this time, I was able to be creative, learn new skills, and see what it is like to be a student again. I have a natural connection to children, and my ability to adapt, be calm and see the best in children is a gift that has been given to me that I am looking to utilize in the best way possible.
