I hold a degree in Psychology and completed the intern program through the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), where I engaged in coursework focused on reflective teaching practices and effective instructional strategies. This training helped me develop a student-centered approach to teaching, with an emphasis on continuous growth and responsiveness to student needs.
I have several years of experience teaching 4th and 5th grade students in LAUSD, where I have taught all core subjects, including math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. I’ve also provided small group instruction to support differentiated learning, including using Heggerty to strengthen students' phonemic awareness and foundational literacy skills.
My instructional style combines structure with flexibility, using formative assessments and scaffolding to ensure all students are able to access and engage with the material. I am also proficient in using educational technology to enhance instruction and streamline learning. This includes platforms such as Google Classroom, Google Slides, Schoology, and DreamBox Math. I leverage these tools to provide interactive, accessible, and student-centered learning experiences.
With a background in psychology, I bring an understanding of child development and behavior into the classroom, helping me create a positive, inclusive environment that supports academic growth and social-emotional learning.
