What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to create inclusive learning environments and engage with communities.

As a dedicated student teacher at Chicago Public Schools, I am committed to fostering inclusive and supportive learning environments. With over three years of experience in education and community roles, I excel in communication and collaboration, ensuring that every student feels valued and engaged. My role involves supporting lead educators in developing student-centered instruction and maintaining effective communication with families to promote student success.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have taken on leadership roles, such as Program Leader at Skokie Park District, where I create and implement educational activities tailored to children's needs. My experience as an election coordinator for the City of Chicago has further honed my organizational skills, ensuring compliance and integrity in the electoral process. I am passionate about empowering students and fostering a love for learning.
