I hold a Master of Arts in English Language Learning (expected March 2025) from Western Governor's University, a Bachelor of Science in English from Towson University, and an Associate of Science in General Education from the Community College of Baltimore County. I also earned a 120-hour TESOL/TEFL Certificate from Oxford Seminars in 2018.

I have teaching experience with English Language Learners (ELLs) at Edgewood High School, where I currently work in a classroom setting. Before this year, I completed my clinical internships at Edgewood High School and Fallston Middle School. My experience spans tutoring students of various ages, focusing on middle and high school learners.

Above all, I employ a student-centered approach, using differentiated instruction and formative assessments to support language acquisition and academic success. My methods are designed to be engaging, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of individual students, whether in a group or one-on-one setting.

As an English I & III teacher at Edgewood High School, I specialize in teaching both introductory and advanced English Language Arts courses to high school students. My experience includes developing and implementing differentiated lessons to meet the diverse needs of students, including English Language Learners (ELLs).

I am skilled in using formative assessments to track student progress and adjust instruction to ensure all students succeed.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

With a Master of Arts in English Language Learning (WGU) and a 120-Hour TESOL/TEFL Certificate, I have developed a strong foundation in teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESL/ESOL). My expertise includes designing and implementing strategies to support language acquisition across all skill areas: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I am experienced in differentiating instruction for students at varying proficiency levels and utilizing culturally relevant materials to promote engagement and success. Through my coursework and hands-on experience, I have gained a deep understanding of language development and effective ESL methodologies that foster academic achievement for diverse learners.

With expertise in teaching grammar as part of the English Language Arts curriculum, I have focused on helping students understand and apply key grammatical concepts in both written and spoken language. At Edgewood High School, I teach English Language Arts, emphasizing grammar instruction to strengthen students' writing skills, sentence structure, and overall communication. Through my experience, including passing the PRAXIS 5039 for English Language Arts Content and Analysis, I use targeted grammar lessons to improve student fluency and writing accuracy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of students at different proficiency levels, ensuring they grasp the rules and nuances of English grammar.

As an English Language Arts teacher at Edgewood High School, I have extensive experience teaching literature, including classic texts such as The House on Mango Street, The Great Gatsby, and Into the Wild. I focus on helping students analyze and interpret these works, encouraging them to explore themes, character development, and literary devices. My approach fosters critical thinking and engages students through discussions, written analysis, and multimedia resources. By using differentiated instruction, I ensure that students at varying reading levels can appreciate and understand the depth of these literary works while developing their analytical and interpretive skills.

I use targeted lessons and individualized feedback to help students strengthen their proofreading skills and become more confident writers. Through my approach, students learn to identify common mistakes and apply strategies to improve their writing, ultimately enhancing their overall communication skills.
