What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive school environment that values collaboration and professional growth.

I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor of Science in Education, specializing in Health Education and Special Education. My journey in teaching began with a commitment to fostering a nurturing and effective learning environment for all students. Currently, I serve as a Third Grade Special Education Resource Teacher, where I create Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Behavioral Intervention Plans (BIPs) tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in classroom management and instructional delivery, ensuring that each child receives the educational, emotional, and physical support they need to thrive. My previous role as a First Grade Inclusion Teacher allowed me to further develop my ability to communicate effectively with students and families, ensuring a collaborative approach to education. I am dedicated to continuous professional development and strive to make a positive impact in the lives of my students.
