What I'm looking for

I seek a nurturing, collaborative school where I can apply play- and project-based methods, integrate technology, support diverse learners, and grow professionally.

I am a licensed Early Childhood Educator (LPT) with experience designing play- and project-based lessons that support literacy, numeracy, social-emotional growth, and STEM engagement for young learners.

During my internship at Philippine Normal University and as a kindergarten teacher at Young Scholars Academy, I created personalized learning plans, integrated technology and arts, and used assessment data to inform instruction and celebrate student progress.

I build strong relationships with families through regular communication and volunteer opportunities, and I collaborate with colleagues to refine curriculum and implement best practices for early learners.

I bring patience, empathy, organization, and proficiency with digital tools (LMS, Canva, Microsoft 365) to create inclusive, engaging classrooms where children can thrive.
