What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative school role using educational technology, IEP expertise, and hands-on science/vocational instruction to support neurodiverse students' academic and social growth.

I am a versatile special education teacher who designs hands-on science and technology lessons to meet diverse learning needs. I focus on individual student needs across academic and emotional development.

I hold a Master's in Educational Technology and have years of experience delivering differentiated instruction and managing IEPs. I have taught science, staffed prevocational technology shops, developed Khan Academy classes, and tutored students with behavioral and emotional disabilities.

I excel at building rapport, using positive reinforcement, restorative and trauma-informed practices, and integrating instructional technology to support postsecondary goals. I seek a collaborative school where I can apply my skills to foster students' academic, social, and emotional growth.
