Bio
Hello! I am so excited to introduce myself. I am a passionate and experienced educator who truly loves teaching and connecting with students. My goal is to help every student build confidence in themselves while finding success in their learning. I believe that all students can succeed when they feel supported, understood, and encouraged along the way! I believe in meeting students exactly where they are and finding the approach that helps them learn best. Through engaging lessons, real-life connections, and consistent feedback, I help students build understanding step by step. I work hard to create a positive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing as learners. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a student reach their "lightbulb moment," and those moment are exactly why I love what I do! I am so grateful for every opportunity to work with students and help them reach their goals!
Teacher Specialization
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in History Education from the University of Illinois and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, with advanced specialities in English Language Learning (EL) and Special Education (LBS1) grade K-12. My background in special education has equipped me with the skills and strategies needed to support all learners, allowing me to adapt instruction, differentiate materials, and find approaches that help every student succeed. I have experience teaching a wide range of social studies courses including AP United States History, U.S. History, World History, Human Geography, and Psychology. This experience, combined with my specialized training, allows me to meet students where they are and provide the support they need to build confidence and achieve their learning goals.
