Summary

As an elementary teacher with five years of classroom and reading intervention experience, my work is grounded in the Science of Reading. I utilize data to drive instruction and deliver targeted reading intervention strategies tailored to individual student needs. I collaborate closely with families and colleagues to support academic progress, student engagement, and social-emotional development. I am known for creating meaningful, culturally relevant lessons that honor students’ identities and experiences while fostering confidence, curiosity, and a growth mindset.

I also have experience in curriculum and professional development design for teachers that is evidence-based, accessible, and aligned with current literacy research. I engage in extensive research to implement reading curricula rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring instruction is effective and responsive to student needs.
