What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered role where I can design standards-aligned curriculum, integrate EdTech, support diverse learners, and lead collaborative professional growth.

I am a dynamic K–8 educator with over a decade of experience designing standards-aligned curriculum and delivering instruction across history, science, ELA, and math.

My background includes both in-person and remote teaching, integrating EdTech tools like Nearpod, Blooket, Gimkit, and Kahoot to create interactive, student-centered learning experiences.

Previously an archaeologist and published researcher, I bring storytelling, hands-on labs, and historical analysis into the classroom, and I have experience leading outreach programs and student travel for immersive learning.

I have founded and managed a successful small business, developing skills in operations, marketing, QuickBooks, and content creation, and I hold a Washington State Residency Teacher Certificate (K–8).
