Message

At Georgetown International Academy, I partner with the Director of Teaching and Learning to design and align curriculum across K–12. I co-aligned and standardized 100+ K–5 units across four core subjects, and I support alignment in Grades 6–8 Social Studies and Grades 6–12 ELA.

At Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro, I designed a differentiated Grade 1 literacy program grounded in the Science of Reading and trained five K–3 teachers to administer DIBELS. Across my work in international schools, I bring literacy into content-area learning and support teachers through collaborative planning, mentoring, and data-informed instruction.
