What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to impact student learning positively while fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.

I am a dedicated educator with a strong background in teaching and program management, committed to fostering inclusive and engaging learning environments. With a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Education in Secondary English, I have developed a diverse skill set that allows me to adapt lesson plans to meet the needs of all students. My experience spans various educational settings, including teaching African American history and elementary education, where I implemented data-driven instruction and differentiated strategies to enhance student learning.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed programs that support college readiness and career exploration for high school students. My role as a Program Manager at the Justice Scholars Institute involved coordinating mentoring initiatives and out-of-school programs, which significantly impacted students' academic and personal growth. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and am passionate about creating a positive classroom culture that encourages open discussions and critical thinking.
