What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a teaching role where I can build a positive, nurturing classroom, support diverse learners, and use data and collaboration to drive academic growth and social-emotional development.

I’m an educator with experience teaching PreK through 3rd grade, including general education inclusion. I focus on creating safe, nurturing, and engaging classrooms where young learners can grow academically and socially.

In my roles as an Inclusion Teacher and Grade Level Chair, I analyzed school data, developed weekly lesson plans, and monitored progress of all students. I worked closely with special education teachers to support modifications, adaptations, and differentiated assignments, while leading weekly progress monitoring for RTI Tier 3 students and attending IEP meetings.

I also bring strong classroom leadership and communication skills—from reviewing lesson plans and maintaining organized learning spaces to integrating technology and using Work Sampling Online (WSO). I prioritize parent/guardian partnership through consistent updates, conferences, and responsible home-school communication.

I’m energetic and detail-oriented, with a commitment to professionalism, flexibility, and strong problem-solving. My goal is to keep learning environments welcoming and structured, so every student can participate, improve, and succeed.
