I enjoy teaching and helping youth learn. My philosophy is that all children can learn if provided the opportunity and resources that fit their learning style. I believe in positive reinforcement and praise. Children learn in many different ways, and it is an educators role to provide opportunities for children to learn through various methods. I am a positive and outgoing person and believe this is evident in my teaching and presentation style. I have worked for the past 14 years in the behavioral health care field. I have served as a mentor to a youth with behavioral/emotional issues. I hold a BA of Education with a minor in Elementary Education and a minor in Special Education. I also hold an MSEd in Education- Counseling. I hold a current Nebraska teaching certificate and have worked with youth of all ages.

I love learning and consider myself a life-long student. I am a firm believer in getting a quality education. I believe life is the best teacher and to use all that is happening in a child’s life to help them learn and take from it something positive. I believe that a right attitude and a positive perspective goes a long way in being able to succeed in school and life. My strengths are in realizing that we all learn in varying ways and as a teacher it is my responsibility to look at my student as an individual and help them discover their unique learning styles and find the right motivation to guarantee their success. I started college with the intention of becoming an elementary school teacher. I completed all coursework at Chadron State College Chadron, NE with the exception of my professional semester.

I am dedicated, resourceful, and a goal-driven professional; I posses a solid commitment to the social and academic growth and development to every student. I believe that every person has the ability to learn, but it takes a special teacher to find the best way that each student can learn. I believe that all are individual and deserve to be treated as such. Students need to know that they are special and capable of reaching their dreams, as well as know that someone is willing to help them. I have always had an interest in math, science, and social studies along with a desire to help people. Therefore I decided to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. I have 5 years of experience working within a classroom as a Para-educator. My last internship was within a middle school social studies classroom, I had classroom sizes of 31 students. My first fulltime teaching experience was within a
