About

Career Objective: to secure employment utilizing my education and talents and to assist individuals in reaching their maximum potential.

Educational Philosophy: I believe all people can and want to learn.

My philosophy stems from an old Chinese proverb: "Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand." When I, as the educator create the enticing learning environment, my students are motivated to learn.
