What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to innovate in education, promote social justice, and engage with diverse communities.

As a Social Studies Instructor at Andrew Jackson High School, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love for history and civic engagement among my students. Over the past four years, I have taught a diverse range of courses, including World History, Economics, and American Government, while also leading the school’s soccer program to unprecedented success. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively run after-school programs in music and reading, and sponsor student organizations that empower young voices.

In addition to my teaching role, I have embraced freelance opportunities as a History Lesson Writer for Study.com, where I create engaging, SEO-optimized content that resonates with learners. My recent work as a Lead Author for Learn By Doing, Inc. has allowed me to contribute to the development of rigorous educational materials that align with academic standards. Furthermore, I am passionate about social justice and community support, as demonstrated by my role as a Fundraising Coordinator for an initiative aimed at aiding Palestinian families affected by conflict.
