Personal Statement Coming Soon

I believe that teaching is about engaging the mind. It is about introducing students to conceptual frameworks with which they can, in profound way, understand, master, and incorporate educational concepts and strategies in productive ways. In short, for me, teaching is about challenging and inspiring students to think critically.

I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in special education and cognitive studies. I am comfortable working with students in general education and students with disabilities.

I try to bridge that gap between what they know and what...
