Aspiring Elementary School Teacher

About

I am a senior at Clarkstown South High School interested in becoming an elementary school teacher. I currently work at New City Elementary School’s after school childcare program called Beyond The Bell. I volunteer by teaching dance classes to children at my dance studio. As a mentor for many kids in the community, I have learned the importance of responsibility, patience, and communication. I look forward to learning more about the education field in the future. I am hoping to connect with teachers, mentors, and education professionals!
