Dedicated elementary education teacher with a strong focus on math.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate educator, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Taylor University, where I graduated with a 3.95 GPA. My teaching philosophy centers on creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment for all students. Currently, I am a 3rd grade Math and Science Teacher at Shaw Elementary, where I am responsible for over 35 students, planning and delivering lessons that meet diverse learning needs.
In my role, I utilize assessments to inform instruction and differentiate learning for students with varying abilities, including those with IEPs and 504 plans. I actively participate in professional development and collaborate with colleagues to enhance our teaching practices. My experience as a Preschool Children’s Ministry Teacher has further honed my skills in classroom management and curriculum implementation, allowing me to effectively engage young learners.
Beyond my teaching responsibilities, I have served as a Personal and Business Assistant, where I developed strong organizational and multitasking skills. I am committed to fostering a supportive and dynamic educational environment that empowers students to thrive academically and socially.
