What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered role in a collaborative school that values STEM integration, technology-enhanced instruction, and opportunities for curriculum leadership and professional growth.

I am a dedicated Mathematics and Biology teacher with over five years of secondary education experience, committed to fostering a love for STEM and improving student outcomes. I design standards-aligned, engaging lesson plans and integrate digital tools like Google Classroom and Kahoot! to create interactive, technology-enhanced learning environments.

I have successfully prepared students for standardized assessments, led after-school tutoring, organized STEM activities, and contributed to extracurricular science and math clubs. As a bilingual educator fluent in English and Spanish, I collaborate with faculty and families to support personalized learning and academic growth.
