What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative K–4 or special education role where I can use data-driven instruction, strong classroom management, and ongoing professional growth to improve student outcomes.

I am a certified PreK–4 and Special Education PreK–8 teacher with a B.S. in Education and a consistent college Dean's List record. I design and adapt lessons aligned to Pennsylvania State Learning Standards and use data-driven strategies to support diverse learners.

I have experience teaching 3rd and 4th grades, providing reading intervention, and delivering special education services in both in-person and online settings. I use district curricula like i-Ready Math, Wonders Reading, and Mystery Science, and I collaborate with colleagues to create effective academic plans.

I pursue ongoing professional development in high-impact instructional strategies and youth mental health first aid, and I focus on classroom management, assessment-driven instruction, and measurable student progress.
