I did not know I wanted to be a teacher until I graduated high school. When I realized my talent for teaching, I enrolled in Kennesaw State University and majored in English. I became even more passionate about language, writing and literature through my college career. To gain valuable classroom experience, I began working as a substitute teacher, teaching all grades from pre-school to high school seniors. During this time, one of the elementary schools I worked at most often asked me to join their staff as a language paraprofessional. My time as a paraprofessional educator honed my skills with young learners and taught me how to forge connections with students while also maintaining a professional and disciplined stance as a teacher. I now have a total of four years of classroom experience, including one year in teaching a foreign language. I believe my passion for education and organized personality makes me a great fit to become an English teacher.
