Summary

I am a dedicated special education teacher with experience supporting students with a wide range of disabilities, including Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD, and specific learning disabilities. I began my career as a paraprofessional and student teacher in the Washington Elementary School District, where I gained hands-on experience in inclusive education, IEP development, and behavior support. Now, as a Cross Categorical Academic (CCA) teacher, I design individualized lessons, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and ensure my students receive the services and support they need to succeed. I am fluent in Spanish and committed to creating a welcoming, student-centered classroom environment.
