I’m an ELA teacher who values engaging instruction and equitable learning. I have experience planning and delivering lessons built on UDL, MTSS, and culturally responsive practices, and I love creating opportunities for students to connect personally with what they’re learning. My goal is always to support diverse learners, while keeping expectations high and student voices at the center.
