What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to inspire students and foster a supportive learning environment.

As a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that combines my artistic background with a strong commitment to education. My experience as a founding 2nd grade teacher at Kenilworth Science & Technology Academy has allowed me to facilitate social-emotional learning and teach core subjects, ensuring that my students thrive academically and socially.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various roles that emphasize collaboration and community involvement. From my time as a student assistant at DART, where I enhanced student organizations, to my role as a remote caller for UTalk, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to connect with others and promote engagement. My dedication to teaching and advocacy is further reflected in my leadership positions, including serving on the Greater Baton Rouge Regional Board for Teach for America, where I work to secure resources for educators and students alike.
