What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovative curriculum design and fosters collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful educational initiatives and support diverse learning environments.

I am a strategic curriculum developer and instructional designer with over a decade of experience in designing science and interdisciplinary programs for K–12 and international contexts. My expertise lies in building engaging, data-informed, and inclusive curricula that align with academic standards and meet learner needs. I excel in cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and integrating instructional technology to support scalable, student-centered learning experiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented STEM curriculum initiatives, impacting hundreds of students. My role as a Science Fair/STEM Coordinator at Gwinnett County Public Schools allowed me to manage logistics for school-wide science fairs, significantly increasing regional participation. I have also developed inquiry-based curricula aligned with IB standards, leading to a notable increase in student engagement and improved exam performance through data-driven lesson planning.

My experience spans various educational settings, including international schools, where I created digital curricula to support remote and hybrid instruction. I am passionate about fostering partnerships with universities and community organizations to enhance student opportunities and drive academic progress. I am committed to continuous improvement in instructional practices and dedicated to creating inclusive learning environments for all students.
