What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me apply classroom instruction, curriculum design, and instructional design skills in collaborative, student-centered organizations that value innovation, impact, and professional growth.

I am a dedicated educator with seven years of experience leading social studies instruction and delivering differentiated curriculum for middle and high school learners. I design and implement lessons across classroom and LMS environments to meet diverse learner needs.

I have served in classroom teacher, assistant teacher, summer program lead, and SAT instructor roles, building strengths in communication, parent engagement, collaboration with paraeducators and behavior specialists, and behavior support. I hold an M.Ed. in Effective and Reflective Teaching and a Certificate in Instructional Design Foundations and Applications, and I apply Universal Design for Learning principles in my practice.

I'm looking to apply my instructional skills beyond the classroom in curriculum development or instructional design roles where I can drive student-centered innovation and continuous improvement.
