I am a certified elementary educator with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and currently pursuing my master’s degree in School Counseling. I just finished my second year of teaching full-time in a diverse 4th grade classroom and am excited to start my third in the fall! I bring over a decade of experience in childcare, education, and tutoring. I have worked with students of various ages and learning profiles through one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction, and in structured classroom settings. My deep knowledge of child development, paired with a strong foundation in academic intervention, allows me to tailor support that truly meets each learner’s needs.

My teaching style is dynamic, empathetic, and deeply student-centered. I create a safe, nurturing, and energetic environment where students feel empowered to take risks and grow both academically and personally. I incorporate humor and playfulness to keep learning engaging, and I frequently use hands-on, collaborative activities to spark curiosity and foster connection. While my approach is flexible and responsive, it’s grounded in purpose - what I like to call “organized chaos.” I differentiate instruction, build strong relationships, and prioritize student voice to ensure each child feels seen, supported, and successful. Above all, I strive to help students build a positive and confident relationship with learning, believing deeply that emotional safety and belonging must come first. My experience in both teaching and counseling uniquely equips me to support the whole child - academically, socially, and emotionally.

ADHD

ADHD

I have both personal and professional experience supporting individuals with ADHD. Through my work as a 4th-grade teacher, I have helped students develop strategies to manage attention, impulsivity, and organizational challenges in the classroom. Additionally, my family experience has given me deeper insight into the daily realities faced by those with ADHD. I am committed to fostering environments that support focus, self-regulation, and success for all learners.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I have both personal and professional experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which has shaped my deep understanding and compassion for individuals on the spectrum. Several of my family members have ASD, so I’ve spent much of my life learning how to support their unique needs. This past school year, I worked extremely closely with one of my 4th-grade students who has ASD, helping him navigate everything from academics and home life to intense, severe behavioral challenges. That experience challenged me, strengthened my problem-solving skills, and reinforced my commitment to creating supportive, individualized environments for students with diverse needs.
Career Development

Career Development

I bring a unique perspective to career development through my ongoing journey as an educator and graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in school counseling. My experience working with students across elementary grade levels has deepened my understanding of early career awareness, goal-setting, and skill-building. I’m committed to fostering students’ self-efficacy and helping them explore their interests and strengths to prepare for future academic and career pathways. At the same time, I actively develop my own professional skills and knowledge, modeling lifelong learning and career growth for the students I support.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in counseling and gaining direct experience through my high school internship, where I am developing and leading a comprehensive college counseling course for juniors and seniors. This hands-on work allows me to guide students through every step of the college application process, from researching schools to preparing applications and managing deadlines. My recent undergraduate experience and current graduate training give me a fresh, relatable perspective that helps me connect with students and understand their challenges. Combining academic knowledge with practical experience, I am well-equipped to support students in making informed decisions about their postsecondary paths.
Common Core

Common Core

I have extensive experience designing and delivering instruction aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) through my work as a 4th grade teacher in a public elementary school. I regularly unpack standards to create rigorous, developmentally appropriate lessons that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and literacy skills. My training and classroom practice include using CCSS to guide both whole-group and differentiated instruction, as well as formative and summative assessments. Additionally, I’ve supported students across multiple grade levels in mastering Common Core-aligned content through targeted small group and one-on-one tutoring.
Debate

Debate

I have extensive experience in public speaking and argumentation, which I developed through both academic and professional settings. As a certified teacher with a strong background in English and communication, I have coached students in persuasive writing, critical thinking, and structured debates. I’ve also judged local and regional student debates, helping participants strengthen their speaking skills, develop coherent arguments, and improve confidence. My approach emphasizes clarity, strategy, and respectful discourse—skills that are essential not just in competition, but in everyday communication.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

While I’ve spent the past two years teaching 4th grade, my qualifications span the full K–6 range through a combination of internships, tutoring, and classroom experience. I’ve completed internships in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade classrooms, giving me a well-rounded understanding of developmental and academic needs across elementary grade levels. In addition, I’ve provided small group and one-on-one tutoring for students at various points in the K–6 continuum, further strengthening my ability to differentiate instruction and support learners at multiple stages. These experiences have equipped me with a broad and practical skill set for effectively teaching and supporting elementary students across all grade levels.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I’m a certified elementary teacher with hands-on experience teaching math across all levels of the elementary curriculum. In my current role as a 4th-grade teacher, I regularly support students with diverse learning needs, including those receiving interventions and special education services. I’ve also passed the Math Praxis exam specifically designed for teaching K–6th grade math, which demonstrates my strong understanding of foundational math concepts and instructional strategies. I focus on breaking down complex ideas, using engaging visuals and hands-on tools, and helping students build both confidence and mastery.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have extensive experience guiding students at every grade level through the essay writing process, from brainstorming and organizing ideas to drafting and revising polished final products. As a certified 4th-grade teacher and a school counseling intern working with high schoolers, I help students develop clear, compelling thesis statements and craft coherent, well-structured essays. I’m passionate about helping writers find their authentic voice while mastering academic conventions across various essay types.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I have extensive experience supporting students with executive functioning challenges, both in the classroom and now in my school counseling training. As a teacher, I regularly helped my 4th-grade students build skills like organization, time management, and emotional regulation. Funnily enough, I’m currently developing a 10-week course specifically designed to support 9th graders with executive functioning struggles as part of my school-level summer practicum for my school counseling master’s program. This work has given me a deeper understanding of how to scaffold executive skills in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have meaningful experience supporting homeschooling families through both my professional work and personal connections. As a 4th-grade teacher, I’ve collaborated with parents who homeschool to help tailor curriculum and strategies that fit their child’s unique learning style and pace. I understand the flexibility and challenges homeschooling requires, and I’m passionate about providing resources and guidance that empower families to create effective, engaging learning environments at home. This experience has strengthened my ability to adapt instruction and support diverse educational needs outside of traditional classrooms.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have firsthand experience navigating the interview process as a recent college graduate entering the workforce, which gives me a practical and relatable perspective on interview preparation. Through both personal experience and my graduate training, I understand the key skills needed to build confidence, communicate effectively, and present oneself professionally. I have helped students and peers prepare for interviews by coaching them on common questions, appropriate etiquette, and strategies to highlight their strengths. This combination of recent real-world experience and educational insight makes me well-equipped to support others in succeeding in interview settings.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have guided students through the process of writing personal statements by drawing on my own experience crafting application essays during my college admissions journey. My graduate training in counseling further enhances my ability to help students articulate their stories clearly and authentically, while highlighting their unique strengths and goals. I support students in brainstorming, organizing, and revising their statements to ensure their voices come through with impact and professionalism. Combining firsthand experience with counseling skills, I’m well-prepared to assist students in creating compelling personal statements that resonate with admissions committees.
Praxis

Praxis

I completed all Praxis exams during my senior year of undergraduate studies, which directly contributed to earning my teaching certification. This rigorous testing experience gave me a thorough understanding of the content knowledge and pedagogy required for effective elementary education. Preparing for and passing the Praxis strengthened my foundation in subject-specific skills as well as instructional strategies aligned with state and national standards. My firsthand experience with the Praxis exams also allows me to guide and support other aspiring educators through their certification journeys.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have strong experience with public speaking, both in academic and professional settings. As a teacher, I speak confidently to students, families, and colleagues on a daily basis, often leading meetings, presentations, and classroom instruction with clarity and purpose. Additionally, I’ve presented at workshops and in graduate-level courses, where I’ve shared insights on education, counseling, and equity-related topics. I enjoy crafting meaningful messages and connecting with audiences in authentic, engaging ways.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I have meaningful experience supporting students with a wide range of special needs, both personally and professionally. As a teacher, I’ve worked closely with students who have disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and emotional or behavioral disorders—adapting instruction, providing accommodations, and collaborating with families and support staff to ensure student success. My passion for inclusion is also rooted in my own life, as I have family members with special needs. These experiences have shaped my belief in equitable access and individualized support for every learner.
