What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative teaching and professional growth.

I am a highly effective and adaptable educator with over 13 years of experience in teaching social studies across diverse educational environments. My journey has taken me from the vibrant classrooms of the US Virgin Islands to the innovative virtual settings of Florida, where I have consistently designed engaging and differentiated curricula that cater to the unique needs of my students. I am committed to fostering critical thinking and collaborative relationships, ensuring that every student feels empowered to succeed.

Throughout my career, I have held various teaching positions, including roles as a High School Social Studies Teacher and State Testing Coordinator. My dedication to educational excellence is reflected in my ability to manage multiple projects, lead teams, and facilitate impactful learning experiences. I have successfully taught a wide range of subjects, including US History, Economics, and Sociology, to students from diverse backgrounds, always striving to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have actively engaged in professional development and community service, enhancing my skills in curriculum design and instructional leadership. I am passionate about experiential education and have designed programs that connect students with real-world learning opportunities. My goal is to continue making a positive impact in education, inspiring students to develop a growth mindset and a lifelong love of learning.
