I have been a special education teacher for the past seven years, working primarily with middle and high school students. Before becoming a teacher, I spent six years as a paraprofessional in special education, which gave me a strong foundation in supporting diverse learners. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and a master’s degree in Special Education. My background has allowed me to develop a flexible, student-centered approach to teaching that focuses on meeting each learner where they are and helping them grow academically and personally.
Throughout my teaching career, I have taught all four core content areas—English, math, science, and social studies—adapting lessons to match each student’s strengths and needs. My experience includes working with students who have behavioral and emotional challenges, learning differences, and executive functioning difficulties. I prioritize building positive, trusting relationships, as I believe that strong connections are the foundation for academic success. Whether working one-on-one or in a classroom setting, I strive to create a supportive environment that fosters confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
