PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Driven by a love for learning and equipped with a passion for motivating others, I entered the
field of Special Education to provide students with special needs the opportunity to learn
through research-based instructional practices and become independent lifelong learners. I
strive to teach my students that every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I
intend to fully support them in reaching their goals by building on their strengths and
facilitating growth from their struggles.
