What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive school environment that values professional growth and collaboration.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated elementary educator with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Spring Hill College. With experience teaching fifth grade at St. Monica Catholic School and St. Pius X Catholic School, I have developed a strong foundation in delivering engaging lessons in Social Studies, ELAR, and Religion. My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment has been recognized through my leadership roles and participation in professional development workshops.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have served as an Assistant Coach for the rowing team at Ursuline Academy of Dallas, where I guided novice crew members in developing their skills. My educational journey has been enriched by various practicum experiences across different grade levels, allowing me to adapt my teaching strategies to meet diverse student needs. I am passionate about continuous learning and have actively participated in workshops focused on writing, social/emotional learning, and teacher development.
