What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to foster inclusive learning environments and support diverse learners.

I am a devoted and highly motivated educator with extensive experience in childhood development, education, and communication, particularly for grades Kindergarten through Sixth. My educational journey began at Seton Hall University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education, followed by a Master’s in Special Education from the American College of Education. My certifications include Elementary Education and Teacher of Students with Disabilities, which reflect my commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments.

Throughout my teaching career, I have successfully taught diverse classrooms, implementing engaging curricula and assessments that cater to the unique needs of each student. My tenure at Paramus Board of Education has allowed me to develop and execute comprehensive lesson plans, participate in Common Core planning, and collaborate with fellow educators to enhance student learning outcomes. I pride myself on my ability to create a positive and inclusive atmosphere where every child can thrive.
