I am proud to say that I have spent the last 9 years in public education as a teacher in a self-contained Speech & Language classroom. Throughout my 9 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful students, who I am happy to say have shown lots of success in my Speech & Language classroom. I enter the classroom with the belief that all children can be successful. Prior to entering public education, I worked as a Pre-K teaching assistant, homecare provider, one-to-one student aide, and camp counselor. I became interested in education as an undergraduate student at Hunter College where my coursework and surroundings allowed me to explore multicultural and diverse learning. Following my undergraduate studies, I was proudly accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows program. As a Teaching Fellow, I completed an intensive 2 year Master’s degree program, and graduated

I am a dancer that has experience in several genres such as jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop, modern and contemporary. My strongest dance genres are probably jazz and hip-hop, but I am very knowledgable in training young students on basic technique. I've danced at Dari Pennino Dance Academy in New Orleans, LA for 10 years and have continued dancing through college in Atlanta, GA. I would like to create a fun environment with young dancers. I would start with a warm-up and some across-the-floor routines to learn turns and leaps and other basic technique. I love to choreograph and would like to for students in groups as well as individual solos.

Saying "can't" is a bad word to me. I like to teach my students to remain positive and never give up. Encouragement is one of my teaching styles. For tap I like to base my style according to Savion Glover, Gene Kelly, and Gregory Hines. I have had 20 years of dance experience including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Modern, Lyrical, and Ballroom. 2 years previous to my dance experience I took gymnastics. I was a teacher's assistant at the age of 14 and began teaching by myself at age of 16 totaling 9 years. My favorite style of dance is tap and it is what I am best at.

My teaching style is to lead by example. Being that I am a visual learning I try to work in steps showing them what is expected and them I allow them to slowly work it out themselves based off of what I've done. I've done a lot of teaching to children with Autism and our teaching style varied to fit the way the child was able to learn. I also took Educational Psychology in graduate school and learned the meaning of intentional teaching, which is teaching with the intent of having the student learn what you are teaching. In response to your recently advertised job position, I would like to share with you my experiences working in the related field. I have over five years experience working for a non-profit, child caring institute for DFCS and DJJ children. I have worked directly with the children in managing behaviors and I have worked indirectly in creating individualized treatment plans

The reward of passing your knowledge on to someone else is always a gratifying experience. I believe in teaching the subject matter through life lessons. I carry with me daily, the life lessons that I was so fortunate to receive in my tenure as a student. Lessons of discipline, critical thinking, creativity and hard work, have allowed for me to never stay on my to success. I believe that students especially children need to understand that everything they are learning has a purpose and a use in our everyday lives. It brings me great excitement when I know that I have helped build someone for success.

Children, now young adults of my generation, were often labeled the children of “Generation X,” but today many have labeled our youth as the children of “Generation Y.” Why have our children seemed to have given up? Why do our children so often succumb to the “street life?” Why is it that our children do not value education as they once did in the past? These questions are questions that, as educators, we must be able to identify and answer to break the cycle of a generation of children with little hope and no future. The youth of today are in dire need of leadership. I have chosen a career path in education to help fill the breach within the minds and lives of our youth. I have acquired and was blessed with an inert quality to lead. I believe that I would be an effective and positive example in the lives of these students. I have a great deal of patience and concern for the youth of

In college I assisted with my church youth group and led classes approximately once a month for two years. During 2010 I volunteered with a Kindergarten class. I assisted the students with in-class assignments in writing and math. I hold a bachelors degree in accounting with a minor in vocal performance. I also studied German during this time.
