What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead classroom instruction, support inclusive learning, collaborate with specialists, engage families, and grow professionally in a supportive, child-centered organization.

I am a dedicated Lead Preschool and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) teacher with over six years of experience designing developmentally appropriate, engaging learning environments that support school readiness, social-emotional growth, and individualized needs. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including speech and occupational therapists, to implement accommodations for diverse learners and maintain strong partnerships with families through clear, consistent communication.

My background includes implementing Reggio Emilia–inspired and nature-based curricula, managing classroom safety and documentation, and supporting administrative functions such as family engagement and record keeping. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, hold multiple early childhood credentials and first aid/CPR certification, and bring leadership, organization, and a focus on inclusive, hands-on learning to every classroom.
