Summary

I believe that teachers hold the responsibility of shaping the minds and lives of the youth. I define myself as passionate and affectionate who pushes the students to strive their best. I understand that the attention span is limited and thus to capture my students' attention I make my lessons engaging, interactive, interesting, creative and innovative. I go with the thought that students should be given the freedom to learn the way they desire. I formulate tasks in such a way that students take ownership of their learning, enabling them to hone their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I lay more emphasis on conceptualization.

As a leader I am highly organized and detail-oriented professional with strong work ethic and dedication to achieving goals. Skilled at developing and maintaining online documentation systems, managing calendars and preparing reports. I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines. I am compassionate and have the charisma to bring about transformation where ever I go.
