ELA Teacher - Team Lead
My journey as an educator has been rooted in a deep passion for inspiring curiosity, building connections, and helping students see learning as a pathway to opportunity. From my early years in the classroom to my current leadership roles, I have always believed that education should not only teach content but also spark creativity, resilience, and a love for discovery. Each role I’ve taken on—whether in literacy instruction, curriculum design, or leading schoolwide initiatives—has given me the opportunity to shape learning experiences that are meaningful and lasting.
Above all, I remain committed to fostering environments where both students and colleagues feel empowered to grow, achieve, and imagine new possibilities.
