What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and collaborate with a dedicated team to enhance educational practices.

I am an experienced educator with a strong commitment to fostering student growth and engagement. As a 2nd Grade Teacher at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic School, I have successfully implemented individualized instruction strategies that led to a 15% increase in student proficiency levels. My approach combines effective classroom management techniques with creative lesson planning, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to thrive academically and spiritually.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have spearheaded various afterschool programs, including tutoring and youth ministry initiatives, positively impacting over 50 students annually. My leadership extends beyond the classroom, as I actively collaborate with colleagues and parents to create a supportive learning environment. I am passionate about professional development and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my teaching practices, contributing to improved academic performance for all students, including those with special needs.
