I am an experienced educator originally from Buffalo, NY, returning home after 12 years in Texas, where I expanded my expertise across classroom teaching, special education leadership, and statewide education initiatives. My work with children began long before my professional career—starting as a babysitter, daycare assistant, summer camp counselor, cheerleading coach, and church camp leader, which shaped my lifelong passion for student growth and well-being. Over the past 20+ years, I have developed a strong foundation in individualized instruction, student support systems, and family collaboration. I am now seeking a position that aligns with my unique expertise and deep commitment to helping every learner thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
