What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my education expertise as a School Evaluator at Mercor, identifying errors and providing structured feedback to help ensure the quality of AI-generated outputs.

At Saint Gabriel School, I teach third-grade core subjects and have consistently elevated student performance on standardized assessments.

I partner with colleagues on curriculum development and review, helping enhance instructional quality and align instruction with educational standards. I also contribute to accreditation initiatives as a member of the school's leadership team.

My work has included professional development in math, language arts, writing, social-emotional development, executive functioning, and technology integration.

I'm seeking to bring my subject-matter expertise to school evaluation at Mercor, identifying errors and providing structured feedback on AI-generated outputs. I work independently and asynchronously, with a background in education and a Master's Degree in Education from USF.
