Educator Bio

Over the past decade, I have taught upper elementary grades before transitioning to middle school, where I have served as a Multi-Media Arts teacher and now a sixth-grade English Language Arts teacher. Throughout these roles, I have focused on curriculum development, differentiated instruction, and fostering a positive learning environment. My commitment to excellence in teaching is further demonstrated through my National Board Certification in Reading–Language Arts, Early and Middle Childhood, as well as my ongoing pursuit of a master’s degree in literacy. Achieving National Board Certification has affirmed my ability to meet the highest standards of professional practice, and I remain dedicated to continually growing as an educator.

In sixth grade English Language Arts, students strengthen their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while also exploring connections to the modern world. Through novels, short texts, and writing projects, students learn to analyze ideas, express themselves clearly, and build confidence as readers and writers. By incorporating multimedia tools alongside traditional literacy practices, students engage in creative and meaningful ways to communicate their understanding.

Seventh grade Social Studies focuses on world regions, cultures, and geography, helping students develop a deeper understanding of how people, places, and events are connected. Students explore history, government, and economics while practicing critical thinking, collaboration, and map skills. Lessons emphasize inquiry, discussion, and interactive activities that make global topics relevant to students’ own lives and experiences.
