What I'm looking for

I seek a supportive school where I can deliver differentiated, technology-rich English instruction, collaborate with colleagues, and grow toward full licensure and leadership in curriculum or instructional coaching.

I am an English educator with a B.Ed. in English Education from Liberty University and hands-on classroom experience across diverse public and Christian school settings.

I have completed 90+ hours of classroom observation and field experience, developing engaging, technology-integrated lessons for 12th-grade English and building strong rapport with students and faculty.

I hold training and certifications including Adult and Child First Aid/CPR, Dyslexia Awareness Training, Cultural Competency Training, and am pursuing a Virginia Collegiate Professional Teaching License for English 6-12 (anticipated December 2025).

I bring practical school operations experience from roles as an IT technician’s assistant and barista, which strengthened my time management, customer/teacher support, and behavior-management skills to create safe, productive learning environments.
