What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in curriculum design and support diverse learners in a collaborative environment.

I am a passionate educator with a Master of Arts in Education and over a decade of experience teaching Spanish across various grade levels. My journey has taken me through multiple school districts, where I have developed and implemented engaging curricula tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students. I pride myself on my ability to create lesson plans that not only meet educational standards but also inspire a love for language learning.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with colleagues to design common assessments and have utilized various teaching strategies to enhance student learning. My experience as an English Language Learner Support teacher has equipped me with the skills to assist students facing language barriers, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed. I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive classroom environment where all students can thrive.
