Joined New Canaan Country School as a Lower School Apprentice Teacher and continue to grow into an

increasingly independent instructional role through co-teaching in first- and third-grade classrooms. Across both

grade levels, I share responsibility for instructional planning, lesson delivery, assessment, and classroom culture while developing a strong understanding of NCCS pedagogy, curriculum, and values. In my current third-grade role, I assume expanded instructional leadership, contributing meaningfully to

curriculum planning, instructional decision-making, and student support while collaborating closely with

grade-level colleagues and families.
