I am a dedicated educator with over five years of experience supporting STEM, STEAM, and English Language Arts instruction for diverse student populations. I create engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and academic growth.
I have taught STEAM to students in Pre-K through fifth grade and ELA to seventh-grade students. My approach combines thoughtful lesson planning, hands-on activities, positive behavior support, and adaptation to individual learning needs.
I am experienced in small-group intervention, academic progress monitoring, and using student data to customize instruction. I have supported students with IEPs and 504 plans in general education, special education, exceptional, and self-contained classroom settings.
My background also includes library services, youth programming, literacy promotion, resource management, and Spanish-language outreach materials. I enjoy developing creative programs and connecting children with literature, media, and learning opportunities.
I am detail-oriented, goal-driven, and committed to clear communication with families, colleagues, and students. I am eager to contribute my instructional, organizational, and collaborative skills to an educational environment focused on student success.
I instruct Pre-K through fifth-grade students in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics concepts while reinforcing classroom teachers' lesson plans.
I use lab space and instructional resources to enrich lesson delivery, facilitate positive group collaboration, and encourage constructive student behavior.
I implemented seventh-grade ELA curriculum aligned with district and state standards. I collaborated with colleagues to develop lessons based on pacing guides and performance metrics.
I participated in weekly professional development to strengthen instructional practices and maintained regular communication with parents about student progress.
I delivered small-group math and reading-comprehension instruction, adapting assignments to student abilities and learning styles. I monitored academic progress for approximately 60 students and maintained detailed data records while collaborating with teachers on performance, behavior, and learning needs.
I supported students with IEPs and 504 plans across general education, special education, exceptional, and self-contained classrooms. I also provided front-office support, including visitor sign-in, phone communication, message documentation, transportation updates, tardy slips, mail distribution, and package handling.
I led a Spanish translation initiative for pamphlets serving Spanish-speaking library card holders and organized a monthly read-to-a-dog program to build children's confidence and literacy. I also redesigned monthly craft projects and researched materials to meet patron needs.
I conducted library tours and storytelling sessions for preschool groups, recommended literature and media based on patron interests, co-managed program planning, and curated thematic displays for the main library and children's areas.
I organized, dated, labeled, shelved, and shelf-read books while maintaining familiarity with newly published children's literature and content.
I assisted with youth crafts and art programs and supported library patrons with questions, requests, and general assistance.
