What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in literacy leadership, curriculum development, educational consulting, instructional design, professional learning, student success, or education-focused customer success where I can make a broader impact beyond the classroom.

I am an experienced elementary and ESL educator with nearly 10 years of classroom and online teaching experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, a Pennsylvania K–12 Art teaching certificate, and TESOL and TEFL certifications.

My background includes elementary education, early literacy, English language development, online instruction, curriculum implementation, student assessment, and individualized academic support. I am especially skilled in structured literacy and Science of Reading practices, including explicit phonics instruction, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Throughout my career, I have supported students with diverse learning needs, including English language learners and students with autism and dysgraphia. I create engaging, supportive learning environments and use assessment data and student performance to adjust instruction and address individual skill gaps.

I am interested in remote opportunities involving elementary education, ESL, literacy instruction, tutoring, curriculum development, educational content, assessment, instructional support, and customer or learner success. I bring strong communication, organization, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to helping students and families succeed.
