What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower educators and enhance student learning through innovative strategies and collaboration.

As a passionate special education professional, I have dedicated my career to ensuring that students with diverse learning needs achieve their fullest potential. With a Master’s degree in Special Education and extensive experience in various educational settings, I have successfully coached and supported special education teachers, developed individualized education programs (IEPs), and implemented effective instructional methodologies. My commitment to student success is reflected in my ability to create compliant, meaningful, and individualized plans that cater to the unique needs of each student.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership and collaboration skills, working closely with educators, paraprofessionals, and families to foster a supportive learning environment. I have spearheaded professional development initiatives, trained staff on best practices, and utilized learning management systems to enhance educational delivery. My experience spans from teaching special education in online settings to leading teams in developing effective strategies for student engagement and success.
