I absolutely love people, especially children; which is why I answered a call to become a teacher!
I have a burning desire to transform the education field by considering the active role of teachers, students and parents together.
After 27 years of experience as a teacher, I believe that real learning is not about ‘transmitting information and evaluating’ but about creating that unique connection with our students.
In 2009, I began training in Taekwondo and kept training with dedication until I attained my Black Belt. Martial Arts has become an integral part of my teaching experience with children.
I am a survivor of Severe Depression and Anorexia Nervosa and have learned to overcome my struggles by striving to go beyond my limitations. I have turned my pain into power by speaking up about these issues and advocating for those who still strive against them!
This year, I became part of The Top Person Ambassador program. Moreover, I am part of Education Influence, which is an organization that gathers educators all over the world to exchange pedagogical approaches and make a positive impact on Education.
