Tell us about yourself.

I am a positive person with an optimistic perspective on life. I enjoy my work, and watching my students learn and develop as individuals gives me a deep feeling of accomplishment. I believe I am doing my job well if I can make a good effect on their future. I am a great communicator, both in writing and orally, and I have a strong capacity to prepare and organize; both of these qualities are important in the position of a responsible instructor. I work well under pressure and can adjust my teaching style or strategies if required to achieve consistent outcomes. I am aware of the larger picture and the stresses that are exerted on the school. I am someone who strives to be able to incorporate positive behavior improvement processes in the classroom and to continue to develop both socially and professionally.
