I am an innovative educator with 5 years experience in the classroom and a Masters in Education with a focus in Middle Grades Science that believes in a holistic academic approach. In my time as an educator I have worked extensively with various forms of Edtech to design and implement rigorous curriculum in order to differentiate instruction and encourage academic proficiency. I have worked hard to develop a supportive environment for my students while adhering to established expectations of collaboration, resilience, and meeting previously set goals which is demonstrated in my EOG (End of Grade) scores each year. Through my career I have used my growth mindset and solution oriented approach to ensure I am providing an enriching experience to my targeted audience while using analytical reasoning to maximize my effectiveness.
