About Miss Mumford
Who I Am
I have a strong passion for teaching. I am working toward a Bachelor's in Education to become an elementary school teacher. I am dedicated to creating a positive and engaging learning environment for young minds. My goal is to foster a love for learning and curiosity through interactive and personalized teaching approaches.
As a Chef for five years, I learned the importance of patience and discipline. I feel these are critical qualities for a teacher to have.
As a builder for three years, I learned to be creative, to think outside the box, and to problem solve. These qualities will help me create an environment of curiosity for learning.
Throughout these adventures, I have been working on my degree to become a teacher.
I started as a Chef. Then I was a builder. Now I have found my true passion: teaching.
