My Teaching Philosophy:
Ever since I was a young child, I thoroughly enjoyed going to school. I decided to continue with my education at SUNY Buffalo State, where I had many experiences working with all types of learners. For two years, I gained experience working as a lead Universal Preschool (UPK) teacher where I learned the importance of a multi-modal teaching approach. More importantly, I absolutely love the routine and structure of a positive learning environment. Therefore, I believe all children should have the opportunity to receive an education that it tailored to their specific needs. Every child is unique, ultimately possessing their own strengths and weaknesses. As a teacher, my job is to guide my students in a way where their strengths shine and their weaknesses are improved upon. Overall, my main goal is to create a learning community filled with respect, empathy, and kindness.
A Little Bit About Me:
Outside of the classroom, I love reading, listening to music, shopping, and dancing! My favorite book genres include fantasy, contemporary romance, and mystery. My favorite music genres include pop and country. I always have music playing, especially during independent work time! Next, my favorite places to shop are TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I love a great bargin! Also, I have a great passion for dancing! I have been dancing since I was 5 years old and I can't seem to get enough! I currently teach dance to students of all ages, even adults. I teach jazz, ballet, and lyrical! You will always find me moving and grooving!
