What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow professionally while continuing to inspire students and develop innovative teaching strategies.

As a dedicated English teacher, I am passionate about fostering a love for language and literature among my students. With experience teaching both middle and high school students, I have developed a student-centered approach that emphasizes engagement and individualized support. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic achievements, including graduating Magna Cum Laude and consistently making the Dean's List.

In my current role at Lavelle Preparatory Middle School, I utilize technology to enhance learning and maintain open communication with parents to track student progress. My previous experience at Lavelle Preparatory High School involved teaching English Literature to diverse classes, where I adapted lessons to meet the unique needs of each student. I believe in creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment that encourages collaboration and critical thinking.
