Experienced teacher and counselor with over 12 years of success in PYP, MYP & IB instruction who is passionate about education. Focused on maximizing student performance and well-being, as well as grade-level team productivity. Takes great pride in fostering a warm and safe learning environment that focuses on critical thinking, creativity and empathy, for all learners, and never allows a student with special learning needs (including ESOL students) feel left out/fall behind.
A team player seeking a leadership position in the near future. Also a life-long learner and believer in self-actualization, continually in search of new challenges and the opportunity to be an exemplar for students and colleagues, both inside and outside the classroom.
In order to keep this section brief, I invite the reader to ask me directly for more details regarding this 5-year adventure of mine. In a nutshell, I chose to practice what I preach and at the age of thirty-five, followed my dream to become a professional of Argentine Tango, before Father Time caught up to me on the dance floor. The experience has proven to be invaluable to me as an educator. Upon achieving all my goals in the realm of Argentine Tango, I listened to my calling and returned to education, which I truly had missed (as only a fellow educator could understand).
