HELLO,
My name is Lauren Crenca. I grew up in Ramsey, NJ, a small-town suburb of NYC. In 2014, I graduated from Muhlenberg College in the city of Allentown, PA. It was here where I began to explore how I could fuse my love of working with children with my dedication to learning, creativity, and continual desire for growth and diverse experiences; I learned how I could serve the world as a teacher.
Backed by my goals as an educator and studies in language, I was offered the unique opportunity to live and teach in France and travel Europe after I graduated. Since returning to the US, I have taught in grades PreK- 6th in several meaningful capacities.
My objectives with this portfolio are to provide a media-rich glimpse into my strengths as an instructor, philosophies as an educator, and love for what I do. Thank you so much for taking the time to view my file. Enjoy!
