Hi there! My name is Gabby. I am a recent honors graduate of Goucher College, and have considerable experience in a diverse variety of settings, including teaching, curriculum development, business development, community outreach, and environmental initiatives. My many involvements reflect my desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others, a desire that has been a constant throughout my educational, vocational, and personal journey. I have always felt a strong affinity towards unique child-centered educational approaches; a philosophy that demonstrates to children and teenagers how to achieve their highest potential in their lives and beyond. In my every-day interactions with individuals, I strive to live by the profound tenants of love and respect -- the recognition that all children possess an innate desire and capacity to learn. The primary job of a teacher/mentor/babysitter/nanny should be to facilitate the process of learning and growing in a manner which allows Read more the child's innate creativity and gifts to blossom and unfold. It means meeting the child where they are at and attending to their unique individual needs. Over the past two years, I have worked in special-education classes which has been a truly rewarding experience. As a recent transplant to the Philadelphia area, I would absolutely love to continue this gratifying and fulfilling work here! On my free time, I love hiking, camping, and vegan-cooking. I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day!
