I believe education should be a student-centered journey that empowers learners to explore, question, and grow into critical thinkers and responsible citizens. As a future secondary educator in social studies, my mission is to create a classroom environment where every student feels seen, supported, and challenged. I value the use of innovative teaching methods, including technology integration and project-based learning, to engage students and promote meaningful understanding, especially when it comes to research—a vital aspect of social studies. My approach to education is grounded in respect, resilience, and the belief that all students can succeed with the right guidance and opportunities.
