Substitute teacher and special education paraprofessional focused on safety, kindness, and student success.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Substitute Teacher currently working in Ignacio School District, where I manage classroom behavior, deliver engaging lessons, and maintain continuity by using provided lesson plans. I also keep accurate records of attendance, grades, and student progress, while adapting methods and offering one-on-one support when students need clarification.
Before this, I served as a Special Education Paraprofessional, supporting students through IEP goals, assistive technology, alternative communication systems, and personalized independence skills. Outside of education, I bring strong customer-focused experience from front desk and retail roles, and I’ve worked in the food industry with an emphasis on cleanliness, sanitation, and safety—values I carry into every team and classroom.
