Professional Profile
I am a dedicated educator that continuously strive to build my knowledge and understanding of
various strategies and techniques to educate students. As a person who once had the role of a
social worker, I have seen the diversity in a children education due to their parents economic
status. AI believe a child’s parent’s economic status should not determine the degree of educa-
tion a child receives. This is the reason I have chosen to transition to my dream job in the Edu-
cation field. With my past roles as a social worker, substitute and full-time teacher, I have had
to opportunity to work with the education department in different capacities.
