Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong ability to connect and collaborate with students, families, educators, and healthcare professionals. Building positive relationships is at the heart of my work, and I thrive on helping students reach their full potential, especially those with unique educational or medical needs.
I have excellent communication skills—whether it’s writing, speaking, or navigating technology—and I’m highly organized with a sharp eye for detail. Managing multiple responsibilities in fast-paced environments is a strength of mine, and I’m committed to meeting deadlines while staying focused on what’s most important: supporting students.
With a solid understanding of attendance laws, 504 plans, and both federal and state education policies, I bring a thoughtful and informed approach to my work. I’m experienced in working with students of all backgrounds, using strategies like student-centered learning and differentiated instruction to create a positive and supportive school environment.
I’m deeply committed to fostering success for all students, and I approach every challenge with professionalism, care, and a determination to make a difference.
