I am a dedicated mathematics educator with over five years of experience cultivating growth-oriented, inclusive classrooms across both US and international middle school environments. Having a Master of Arts in Teaching with a 4.0 GPA, my career is defined by a commitment to data-driven instruction and differentiated learning strategies that support diverse student populations, including English Language Learners (ELL). Whether delivering rigorous seventh- and eighth-grade math instruction aligned with state standards or implementing specialized math intervention programs, I foster a supportive academic environment to help students grow.
My professional background spans teaching online and in classroom in both Oregon and overseas in Vietnam, highlighting my adaptability and global perspective. At Ron Russell Middle School, my targeted instructional methods successfully improved the student median percent progress toward typical curriculum growth by an impressive 128 percent in a single year. Beyond the traditional math classroom, I have collaboratively developed science curricula, balanced multi-level academic instruction at an international school, and contributed to vibrant school cultures by coaching elite sports teams. Off-duty, I bring the same focus and creativity to my roles as a licensed soccer referee and a professional studio potter.
