Summary
With nearly 20 years of teaching experience, I offer a global perspective and a passion for lifelong learning. Teaching in diverse communities across Canada, Kyrgyzstan, and Egypt has enriched my approach to education and deepened my understanding of multilingual learning environments. My commitment is to foster strong language and literacy skills in young learners. Beyond the classroom, I consistently seek ways to improve teaching methods and professional growth, aiming to inspire a love of learning and build a solid foundation for students' future success.
