Educational coach and instructor improving teacher, adult, and special-education outcomes through data-driven support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an educational coach and instructor who builds standards-aligned learning experiences that lead to measurable certification, academic, and career readiness gains. In my current role as a Praxis Coach, I facilitate weekly synchronous seminars, use diagnostic and practice assessment data for targeted interventions, and deliver explicit test-taking strategies that support apprentice persistence, accountability, and goal attainment.
Across my experience as an Adult Education Instructor, Adjunct Instructor, and Special Education Department Chair, I’ve led teams and designed instruction that stays anchored to compliance, inclusive practices, and learner needs. I coordinate IEP meetings, support caseloads and services, and collaborate with educators and families on individualized education plans, while also developing course materials and instructional content for online graduate-level learning.
