At Kide Science, I wrote and developed curriculum, integrating ELA frameworks into STEM lessons and adding ELA alignments to 100+ lessons. I co-wrote student resources and worked with graphic designers on digital and printable materials.

I also collaborated with Sesame Workshop on curriculum and teacher resources for its “Mega Builders” episodes, and helped produce professional development materials for teachers in Mexico. Before Kide Science, I taught fifth-grade Reading, English Language Arts, Writing, and Social Studies at Templeton Elementary School and mentored a University of Maryland student teacher.
