Personal Statement:
My decision to pursue a career in education is a result of my passion for working with children and my desire to have a positive impact on the life of a child. My goal as a teacher is to instill a passion for life-long learning and a love for Christ within my students while providing them with an educational environment that is encouraging, supportive, and positive. I strive to help my students gain confidence in themselves and to reach their fullest potential through embracing the gifts God has blessed them with. I am inspired by the family like atmosphere at St. Mary and I am honored to be a part of it.
