Personal Philosophy of Education
I come from the belief that all children can and will learn if given the right opportunities in the right environments.  Education at this moment is in a very tumultuous time.  We as educators are under immense pressure.  It is my philosophy to protect my students so that this pressure does not harm them.  It is my responsibility to put the interests and needs of my special children first even before my own needs.

Future Professional Goals
I hope to one day teach at the university level.  I would love to be  an educator’s educator.  I also would like to continue on in my successes throughout the Miami-Dade County Public School System while I get my degree.
