I have worked as a Substitute Teacher for over five years, teaching students from kindergarten through twelfth grade in a variety of subjects and classroom settings, including general education, special education, and English language learner programs. My approach to teaching focuses on flexibility, engagement, and inclusion. I use differentiated instruction, active learning strategies, and technology to support diverse learning needs. In addition to classroom teaching, I have tutored students one-on-one and in small groups, both in person and online, with a focus on core academic subjects, study skills, and academic support. My experience spans public schools, virtual classrooms, and community-based programs such as CARD and Think Together. I especially enjoy working with students from different backgrounds, which connects to my studies on various cultures in Tourism. These experiences have strengthened my classroom management, communication, and adaptability skills and inspired me to pursue teaching in higher education. My goal is to serve as an Adjunct Business Instructor in online community college settings, while giving back the same support and care I received from the educators who shaped my path.

I hold a Master of Business Administration, a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality, and an Associate degree in Business Administration. These programs have equipped me with a strong foundation in business operations, customer service, marketing, and leadership. I have also earned nine professional certifications in areas such as Human Resource Management, International Marketing, Global Business Management, Marketing and Sales, Customer Service, and Entrepreneurship. These credentials reflect my commitment to lifelong learning and staying current with industry and educational standards. My combined experience in education and business allows me to create real-world learning experiences that prepare students for success in today’s evolving environment.
