What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and supports student growth.

I am a passionate educator with a strong commitment to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for all students. With experience in both public and private educational settings, I have developed and implemented lesson plans that cater to diverse learning styles and abilities. My approach emphasizes the importance of differentiated instruction, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to thrive academically.

Throughout my career, I have utilized various instructional strategies, including technology integration and cooperative learning, to enhance student engagement and comprehension. I believe in the power of collaboration, having worked closely with colleagues to create interdisciplinary units that enrich the educational experience. My dedication to continuous improvement is reflected in my use of assessment data to tailor instruction and support student growth.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have a background in admissions counseling, where I honed my skills in communication and relationship-building. I am eager to bring my expertise in education and my passion for student success to a new role where I can continue to make a positive impact.
