What I'm looking for

I seek elementary teaching roles where I can deliver standards-aligned instruction, support diverse learners, collaborate with staff, and grow professionally in a student-centered school culture.

I am a dedicated elementary educator with hands-on experience delivering standards-aligned instruction and managing classroom environments across multiple grade levels. During student teaching and practicums I planned and taught lessons in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies using CKLA and Eureka curricula and led small-group reading interventions.

I adapt quickly to different classroom settings and student needs, maintaining instructional continuity as a substitute teacher and supervising learners in after-school programs. I emphasize clear expectations, consistent routines, and positive behavior supports to create safe, respectful, and productive learning environments.

I collaborate with staff to communicate student progress and support program operations, and I bring practicum and student-teaching experience supported by coursework culminating in a Bachelor of Arts in Education. I am ready to contribute effective instruction and classroom leadership in an elementary setting.
