What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining instructional leadership and operations where I can improve processes, support learners, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable outcomes in a mission-driven environment.

I am an operations-focused professional and virtual elementary Math & ELA instructor with a strong background in curriculum development, small-group instruction, and process improvement. I combine hands-on teaching experience with operational leadership to deliver both educational outcomes and organizational efficiency.

As a virtual instructor, I design engaging lessons for K–6 students, use educational technology and LMS platforms, and assess progress through data-driven instruction. I prioritize differentiated learning and parent communication to support individual student growth.

In operations roles, I have streamlined workflows, managed scheduling and payroll, handled emergency staffing, and implemented process improvements that improved cost-effectiveness and service quality. I also develop marketing content and advocate for fair compensation and legal compliance when needed.

My earlier roles include communications and publication work, event representation, retail management, and student services—experiences that reinforced my attention to detail, leadership, and client-facing skills. I seek opportunities where I can blend instruction, program management, and operational strategy to create measurable impact.
