Summary
As a first-time teacher with an academic background in biology and genetics, I am passionate about bringing science to life in meaningful and engaging ways. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Education, where I am committed to building an inclusive, student-centered classroom that supports curiosity, critical thinking, and personal growth. My prior experience working with children in both educational and enrichment settings has deepened my understanding of student needs, classroom dynamics, and the importance of building trusting relationships. I will strive to create a learning environment where all students feel supported, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them through science.
