I am currently teaching at Ilag Elementary School where the assignment involves teaching to graders with varied learning needs. This assignment requires that I teach reading, writing, spelling, arts and arithmetic. I finished my Masters Degree last 2010 and I have for my Doctoral Degree in Educational Management graduated 2018.

As an elementary school teacher teaching regular students, I take pride in nurturing and guiding my students to develop a love for learning that enhances their ability to become contributing citizens in their community. I also regularly volunteer with the school’s Best Buddy reading program after school. My dedication to students and to learning extends beyond the regular classroom situation. I believe that my energy, education, and my eleven years of experience combine to make me a viable candidate for your position.
