Summary

Mission-driven educator and program leader with 7+ years of experience supporting youth across K–12 settings, with a strong focus on educational equity, student development, and program management. I began my career as an extended day teacher for elementary students, taught 11th grade U.S. History, and now serve as a Program Site Manager for a nonprofit after-school program serving teens. I lead daily operations, supervise staff, and implement programming focused on college readiness, workforce development, and social-emotional learning. I am known for building inclusive learning environments, coaching staff, cultivating relationships with students, and aligning programs with student needs, and organizational goals.
