What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a collaborative elementary teaching role where I can lead teams, design Common Core-aligned curriculum, support diverse learners using i-Ready and small-group instruction, and continue professional growth in a student-centered school.

I am a qualified elementary teacher with seven years of classroom experience, currently serving as a Team Lead who creates and implements Common Core-aligned lessons. I hold a Master’s of Education and combine creativity with analytical skills to drive student growth and manage classroom procedures effectively.

I have led teacher teams, used i-Ready for differentiated instruction, mentored refugee students, and regularly reflect on practice to innovate curriculum and support diverse learners.
