✨ conclusion ✨
Please be advised that, per your guidance, I removed personal contact information like my phone number and home address for discretion. I also revised my resume to reduce the word count and allow the rest of the site to express more of the nuance and complexity of my professional identity. I’ve focused on design consistency, simplified font choices, and a clear visual rhythm so as not to overwhelm the viewer.
I’ve also adjusted my resume to position myself not only as a teacher but as a teacher leader: a professional with the skill set to support children, families, and learning communities both instructionally and operationally.
I recognize I still have much to learn about presenting the full beauty and depth of our academy’s work in an even more impactful way. If you’re ever open to scheduling a brief video call, I would be honored to receive your direct feedback, on both my portfolio and my site overall, so I can integrate your insights into the ongoing evolution of the Academy’s public presence and deepen our expression of service to the communities we reach.
Duao, thank you again for your precious attention and care for us as learners. Please feel free to reach out with any thoughts or questions.
With gratitude,
Tiarra
