What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to inspire and educate youth while fostering a positive learning environment.

I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from California State University Northridge. My experience as a substitute teacher and special education aide has equipped me with the skills to adapt to various classroom environments and meet the diverse needs of students from kindergarten through 12th grade. I pride myself on my ability to connect with students and foster a supportive learning atmosphere.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have served as a coach and peer mentor with Elevo, where I taught social emotional learning through engaging physical activities, STEM, and art. My volunteer work at Linc Housing allowed me to support low-income families by providing childcare and educational assistance, further solidifying my commitment to community service and youth development.
