What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation in education and fosters collaboration among educators.

I am a dedicated Curriculum Designer with a strong commitment to inspiring lifelong learning and educating for life. My background in creating learner-centered, adaptive educational programs allows me to meet diverse needs effectively. I am skilled in developing innovative instructional strategies and integrating technology to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Currently, I serve as the Technology Integration Coordinator at Paraclete High School, where I collaborate with faculty and administration to incorporate cutting-edge technology into the classroom. I design and deliver professional development programs for educators, ensuring they are equipped with the latest tools and platforms. My previous experience as a Site Manager with Notre Dame Mission Volunteers AmeriCorps has honed my leadership skills, allowing me to mentor young educators and create meaningful learning opportunities.

With a Master of Education in Instructional Design and over six years of experience in adaptive education, I focus on empowering learners with special needs. My approach is patient and compassionate, aimed at helping individuals gain autonomy and achieve personal success. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and am passionate about creating inclusive learning environments.
