What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to foster inclusive learning environments and advocate for student success.

I am a dedicated special education teacher with a strong background in supporting students in high-need, high-incident schools. My passion lies in creating inclusive environments where every student can thrive. I believe in the power of hands-on learning and strive to meet diverse student needs through engaging, differentiated, and multi-sensory lessons.

Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented effective instructional strategies tailored to students with severe disabilities. As a STEM Academic Leader, I have successfully designed STEM lessons and activities, leading volunteers and monitoring participant learning plans to ensure student success. My commitment to equity and growth drives me to advocate for all students, ensuring they receive the support they need to reach their full potential.
