Summary

As a teacher, I am experienced with curriculum development and implementation, ensuring educational content meets all necessary standards and engages students. I utilize a range of teaching methods to address different learning styles. I am multi-certified and experienced in my content areas. My strengths are implementing classroom management techniques to maintain productive and respectful learning environments.


This experience and recent education lead me to seek a position as school counselor. With this background, I am enthusiastically ready to help students by implementing a school counseling program through effective communication, empathy, support, and collaboration to meet the changing needs for student well-being.
