I build inclusive K–12 learning environments through differentiated instruction, behavior support, and data-driven progress monitoring.
What I'm looking for
I've supported diverse K–12 learners at National Heritage Academies, The Kindezi Schools, Capstone Academy, and Butterfly Effects through inclusive instruction, behavior support, and strong family partnerships.
At The Kindezi Schools, I delivered phonics and literacy instruction that contributed to assessment score increases of up to 50%, while designing differentiated lessons across core subjects and supporting IEPs and Behavior Intervention Plans.
I'm completing a Master of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education at Georgia State University and bring ABA therapy, progress monitoring, arts-integrated instruction, and mentorship experience to student-centered classrooms.
