At Barstow Unified School District’s Lenwood Elementary School, I served as Third Grade Lead Teacher and Instructional Technology Specialist, using benchmark reviews and student assessment data to shape school-wide interventions. I also coordinated the Response to Intervention team to identify struggling learners, plan targeted support, and monitor progress.

As a CTI Induction Coach and BTSA Support Provider, I mentored new and veteran teachers through classroom observations and data-informed practice. I also facilitated math professional development and led peer observation cycles.

I served on the district Curriculum Adoption Team and evaluated instructional materials and programs, including McGraw-Hill Wonders, Go Math, and Amplify Science. My curriculum work also included writing instruction for Grades 1–6 and integrating AVID strategies.

I delivered remote and hybrid instruction using Zoom, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams, and I’ve trained in AI tools for education. I’m seeking work in curriculum development, educational assessment, instructional coaching, or AI training and evaluation, applying classroom experience to improve educational content and AI model quality.
