What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an elementary teaching role where I can strengthen literacy and math outcomes using data-informed instruction, strong classroom management, and differentiated supports for diverse learners—while continuing to grow through professional development.

I’m an elementary educator currently teaching 3rd grade under K–6 emergency certification, and I bring a Master’s degree plus prior experience as an Instructor of Record at the university level. I’m actively preparing for Praxis Elementary Education: Multiple Subjects (5901) and committed to helping students grow academically and confidently.

In my classroom, I deliver daily instruction in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Social Studies aligned to state standards. I use formative and summative assessments to monitor progress, adjust instruction, and ensure students are meeting clear learning targets.

I build structured, positive learning environments through strong classroom management and evidence-based routines. I differentiate instruction to meet diverse needs and has driven measurable outcomes—met and exceeded SMART goals for Oral Reading Fluency, with 13/14 students reading on grade level or above, and a 100% pass rate for the 2025-2026 ACAP Assessment.

I also stay continuously improving through professional development, including ongoing LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) certification in progress. My teaching approach is student-centered and inclusive, and I aim to create engaging learning experiences where every learner feels supported.
