What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters professional growth and innovation in education.

I am an experienced instructional teacher currently working with 2nd graders at Sunset Park Elementary School. My role encompasses all aspects of classroom management, including lesson planning, curriculum development, and student assessment. I take pride in achieving a Highly Effective Observation rating, which reflects my commitment to educational excellence and student engagement.

Previously, I taught 1st grade at Westbrooke Elementary School, where I implemented various training programs designed for new teachers. My experience as a substitute teacher for grades K-5 has further enriched my teaching skills, allowing me to adapt to different classroom environments and curricula effectively. My background as an executive assistant has also equipped me with strong organizational and communication skills, which I apply in my teaching practice.
