What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to support diverse learners and foster inclusive educational environments.

I am a passionate educator with a strong background in special education, having worked with students from kindergarten through high school. My experience includes teaching students with learning disabilities and autism, where I developed tailored curriculum modifications to meet individual academic needs. I have successfully managed classrooms, led small group sessions, and collaborated with general education teachers to ensure inclusive learning environments.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Special Education Teacher and ParaProfessional, where I focused on fostering student growth and independence. My commitment to education is reflected in my summa cum laude degree in Special Education from Arizona State University. I am also skilled in managing educational programs and have experience in administrative roles, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on the operational aspects of educational institutions.
