What I'm looking for

I want a collaborative K-5 classroom role where I can drive measurable student growth, use restorative practices, partner with families, and continue professional growth within a supportive school culture.

I am a dedicated K-5 classroom teacher with a strong record of promoting academic and character growth through restorative practices and differentiated instruction. My work emphasizes scaffolded lessons, timely feedback, and accommodations for diverse learners.

I have implemented grade-level curriculum aligned to Texas standards across second through fifth grades and supported students with individualized instruction plans alongside interventionists. I build consistent communication with families to support student development and learning continuity.

My background includes classroom, substitute, and instructional aide roles in multiple Texas districts, plus experience in emergency response and fitness coaching, which contribute to my adaptability, crisis management, and student health awareness.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English, a Teachers of Tomorrow alternative teaching certification, and certifications including NASM Certified Personal Trainer and EMT/Paramedic credentials (noted as expired for some). I seek to bring classroom leadership and student-focused instruction to a collaborative school community.
