I'm a passionate and dedicated early childhood educator with a Master's in General and Special Education (Birth-Grade 2), currently pursuing my certification extension for Grades 1-6. Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to work closely with diverse learners in both inclusive and self-contained classrooms, and it has solidified my belief that every child deserves a responsive, supportive, and joyful learning environment. My experience spans lesson planning, IEP development, classroom management, and close collaboration with families and therapists. I'm especially drawn to the relationships that form in early education: building trust, nurturing curiosity, and helping students grow not only academically, but also emotionally and socially. With a background in communications and leadership, I bring strong organizational and interpersonal skills that support meaningful connections with students, families, and school communities. Above all, I care deeply about meeting students where they are and helping them take the next step forward, whatever that looks like for them.
