I have always loved working with students and have made it my personal passion to be an enthusiastic, creative, and a kind mentor and teacher. As a Spanish teacher in the Philadelphia School District I have seen first hand how creating a positive, nurturing environment within each and every student allows for greater achievement academically and personally. I want to make a difference in our community and truly believe that I can support the youth of today best by giving them the skills they need to be successful in the future.
