What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an inclusive, supportive school environment where I can teach elementary students, differentiate instruction for diverse learners, and continue growing as a teacher and classroom leader.

I've supported K–5 students at Rose Tree Media School District across math, reading, writing, and science while maintaining safe, structured classrooms and adapting instruction to student needs.

Through student teaching, I've designed state-aligned lesson plans, differentiated learning for ELL and special education students, and collaborated with mentor teachers to support student success. As a Division I lacrosse captain and youth coach, I bring accountability, resilience, personalized feedback, and positive energy to helping students grow.
