What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and implement NGSS-aligned curricula, lead curriculum development or audits, mentor teachers, and contribute to a collaborative school culture that values inquiry, family engagement, and hands-on STEM learning.

I am an experienced elementary science educator with a decade-plus track record designing NGSS-aligned, inquiry-based curricula for preschool through grade 4 and building school science labs and specimen museums that foster student investigation and curiosity.

I have led curriculum audits, authored P–2 science scope and sequence documentation, and delivered professional development to classroom teachers to ensure instructional consistency and improved student outcomes.

I bring strong family engagement practices, classroom differentiation strategies, and visual storytelling skills through school photography to elevate school communications and support vibrant learning communities.
