At Birch Elementary, I tutor in a cross-categorical classroom, working with small groups of students and team teaching with the classroom teacher.

While at Alexander, I split my time between working with small groups of students and managing my own classroom. I started at Alexander as an RTI teacher, working with grades K-3 using The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention System (LLI). I then moved to the classroom to teach tier-one instruction, serving kindergarten and first grade.

I worked as the Dean of Academic Outcomes while completing my master's degree in Educational Leadership. This experience gave me valuable job training as an assistant principal.

I served as an instructional coach at Palm Elementary in Lorain. While there, I acted as a mentor, working with teachers to improve their effectiveness so they could raise their students' achievement levels.

While serving Wake County Public Schools, I taught kindergarten and second grade. In second grade, I was honored as Teacher of the Year and was among the top ten teachers in the district.
