Profile
I am a highly motivated and hardworking lifelong learner, who will be completing a second masters
degree this spring. I am a distinctly successfulscience teacher looking to take my career to the next
level. I am seeking acceptance to a graduate school program to earn a PhD in Education.
During my teaching career I have been self-motivated, organized and capable of working under
pressure. I have a clear, logical way of thinking and I enjoy working on my own initiative or in a team.
