Meet Amanda
My education has always been something I’ve enjoyed investing in. I am passionate about learning and I believe when one dedicates themselves, they create their own path to success. For me, dedication and passion are two qualities that have been consistent enablers for my successes.
I obtained my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Saint Mary’s University. I have a double major in Criminology and Sociology with a minor in Modern Languages (Spanish). I plan to continue my education by enrolling in a Graduate program in Behavioural Analysis.
After graduating from SMU, I moved abroad to teach in the Dominican Republic. During my time abroad, I was lucky to have the opportunity to teach at various levels, including elementary and high school. This experience allowed me to see that my love of education did not only apply to myself but also to educate others. Teaching abroad not only showed me the fundamentals of being an educator but it exemplified that all students learn at their own pace and in their own way; it taught me how to differentiate instructional methods.
Seeing each student travel along their individual path of success is one of the many rewards of being a teacher.
Foundations For Learning allows me to do what I love while enabling me to use my experiences and background knowledge. It also gives me the flexibility needed to dedicate myself to another one of my passions; being a mother to my daughter. Spending time reading together, enjoying nature and animals are just some of our favorite things to enjoy together.
