Fun Facts

I live, eat and breathe soccer. I am 21 years old and for the past 18 years soccer has consumed my life. It is my first true love and will continue to be for the rest of my life. I have never felt a passion greater than the passion I have for this sport. Luckily, I was able to make my childhood dream become a reality and received a scholarship to play at Molloy College. I am now captain of the Molloy Women's soccer team and have one more year left to play.

About Me

I am a senior at Molloy College majoring in Elementary/education/new-york/long-island">Special Education 1-6 with a concentration in Mathematics. I have been on the Dean's list as well as East Coast Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll for the past three years. When I graduate I hope to continue my studies at Molloy College to receive my Masters in Education and TESOL. I am currently a soccer trainer and will pursue to become a coach at the district I begin my teaching career.

Experience

As a member of the Peer Leadership program in High school, I met one on one with students with special needs every week to assist in academic help as well as, helping build a foundation for the use of life skills. I have also had the opportunity to tutor 3 children and assist them in completing their homework two times a week. I love working one on one with students because it allows me to get to know that student as a person and build upon their strengths and weaknesses.

Approach

At a very young age, I always knew that my purpose in life was to make a difference and impact the lives of others. Seeing the impact my third grade teacher had on myself and my classmates made me realize that I could help people every single day for a living! Through her poise, compassion, understanding, empathetic, fun and energetic ways she made a mark on me that will forever become the building blocks to my approach on teaching.
