With 15 years of experience lighting up middle and high school classrooms, Iām not just teaching EnglishāIām helping students find their voice, fall in love with language, and tell their stories with power and purpose.
But my impact doesnāt stop at the classroom door. During my time as an elementary teacher and admissions advisor, I gained extensive one-on-one and small group tutoring experienceāsupporting students in reading, writing, and math with lessons tailored to their unique learning styles. Whether working with emerging readers, building foundational math skills, or adapting strategies for students with special education needs, I made learning personal, patient, and powerful.
