I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education with a focus on Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Western Governors University, and I have been working as an educator since 2015. I currently work as a high school special education teacher, supporting students in both resource and inclusion settings. My experience includes teaching English Language Arts and mathematics and providing individualized academic support to students with a wide range of learning needs and ability levels. I have experience working with students from elementary through high school ages and have supported students performing at various academic levels.

My teaching approach is patient, encouraging, and individualized. I believe students learn best when instruction is adapted to their specific needs, learning style, and current skill level. I use explicit instruction, modeling, guided practice, questioning, repetition, graphic organizers, and step-by-step strategies to help students understand challenging concepts. I also focus on building confidence and helping students become more independent learners. In my classroom experience, I regularly provide one-on-one and small-group instruction, reteach skills, modify assignments, monitor student progress, and adjust instruction based on student performance. My special education background has given me extensive experience breaking complex concepts into manageable steps and finding different ways to explain material when a student is struggling. I am passionate about helping students recognize their strengths, overcome academic challenges, and make meaningful progress toward their goals.
