Summary

I am a dynamic educator with a proven track record of success at Sophie B. Wright Charter School, where I have made significant contributions through innovative curriculum development that addresses my students' diverse learning needs. My approach emphasizes cultivating critical thinking skills, encouraging students to absorb information, analyze, evaluate, and apply what they learn meaningfully.

I excel at building strong relationships within our diverse school community, actively engaging with students from various backgrounds, and creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. I prioritize open lines of communication with parents and guardians, and family involvement is essential for student success. Maintaining these connections ensures that families are informed and included in their child's educational journey.

In my instructional practices, I tailor my methods to align with each student's unique strengths and challenges, providing personalized mentorship that addresses individual learning styles. This customized approach allows me to facilitate academic achievement while fostering a sense of confidence and self-efficacy in my students.


My commitment to empowering students extends beyond academic success; inspiring a lifelong love of learning is a central goal of mine. I actively seek out opportunities to nurture each student's potential, promoting resilience, creativity, and a growth mindset. I aim to equip students with the skills they need to thrive in all facets of life, not just in school.
