I build engaging learning environments and coordinate seamless events for diverse communities.
What I'm looking for
I've taught elementary and middle-school students since 2016, most recently delivering fifth-grade Language Arts instruction at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I design differentiated lessons, assess progress, communicate with families, and lead the Newspaper Club.
I've also supported school leadership through a principal internship, action plans, improvement planning, and student-data analysis. At Party Please, I coordinate corporate, social, and nonprofit events, managing timelines, vendors, budgets, communications, and post-event feedback.
