What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support inclusive learning environments through curriculum development, human-centered design, and teaching. I value opportunities to make educational materials accessible for diverse learners, including non-readers and students who need additional engagement support.

At Only7Seconds, I improved the accessibility and usability of a student digital journal through Canva mockups, inclusive curriculum revisions, and human-centered design.

I built a flexible digital structure for future updates and helped ensure non-readers and students with attention challenges could engage with the curriculum. My work focuses on making learning experiences supportive across diverse student backgrounds and personalities.

Alongside education-focused work, I've built customer service and youth-support experience at Starbucks and through childcare, communicating reliably with families and supporting children through educational play and homework.
