What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to develop innovative curricula and collaborate with educators to enhance student learning experiences.

I am an experienced educator with several years of teaching in elementary education, specializing in creating engaging and effective curricula. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Italian Studies, followed by a Master's in Early Childhood Education. I have successfully taught various subjects, including ELA, math, and social studies, while implementing differentiated learning techniques to meet the diverse needs of my students.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and student success. At Saint Matthias School, I taught in a hybrid model, effectively managing both remote and in-class students. My experience includes writing lesson plans, conducting parent-teacher conferences, and actively participating in professional development. I am passionate about curriculum development and am eager to leverage my skills to contribute to curriculum writing that fosters student engagement and achievement.
