What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that promote collaboration, innovation, and professional growth in education.

I am an experienced K–8 educator with a passion for equity-driven instruction, professional development, and data-informed teaching strategies. With over five years of experience, I specialize in designing tailored lessons aligned with Common Core Standards to support diverse learners. I leverage digital tools—including Google Drive, EdTech platforms, and Zoom—to enhance both student learning and teacher training.

Throughout my career, I have committed to fostering inclusive, engaging classrooms. I mentor educators to drive measurable student growth and instructional effectiveness. At Hubbard Media Arts, I increased median math growth by 130% and reading growth by 131% through targeted, data-driven instruction and collaboration with colleagues. My innovative strategies have enhanced content understanding and fostered a positive classroom culture, particularly among English Language Learners.
