What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative teaching methods and supports professional growth.

I am a dedicated educator with extensive experience in secondary and higher education, specializing in English Language Arts and writing fluency. Over the past six years, I have successfully developed and implemented courses and programs that enhance students' writing skills, particularly for at-risk and diverse populations. My commitment to educational excellence is reflected in my ability to synthesize complex research into actionable teaching strategies.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Subject Matter Expert and English Department Chair, where I have led curriculum development and student advisement initiatives. My academic background includes a BA in English Literature and an MA in English & Literature, equipping me with a strong foundation in both creative and analytical writing. I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages students to achieve their full potential.
