What I'm looking for

I'm interested in curriculum and instruction work that advances STEM literacy integration, project-based learning, student engagement, middle school literacy development, educational equity, and instructional innovation.

At Carroll M. Johnston STEM Academy for Environmental Studies, I design standards-aligned ELA curriculum that builds literacy, engagement, and academic achievement for middle school students.

As a 6th Grade ELA Team Lead, I guide instructional planning and curriculum pacing while collaborating with grade-level teams and Professional Learning Communities to strengthen alignment, interventions, and consistency.

I create STEM-integrated, project-based learning units, differentiated lessons, and assessments informed by student performance data. I use Canvas, Infinite Campus, ThinkCERCA, and other digital tools to support inquiry-based learning, reading and writing growth, and family communication.

I'm pursuing an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with a minor in Educational Technology, building on leadership, training, project coordination, and stakeholder communication experience from Hilton Grand Vacations and T-Mobile.
