I have been teaching elementary school students grades, K-6, for 14 years and also a school principal for 2 1/2 years. I was born and raised in the Marshall Islands and Hawaii for the last 42 years. I moved to Oklahoma City where I’m taking online classes at the Colorado Technical University. I love working with kids and not only that I teach them academics, but I also teach them the value of life. Students comes first among all other things, because I truly believe that each and one of them has their own ways of learning. As a teacher, my goal is to inspire the students and motivate them into knowing that, everybody makes mistakes and we learn from them. It takes time for a child to blossom and as a teacher, I am confident that I can get them to a point where they can excel in their studies.
