I am an experienced educator with a background in early childhood and elementary education, literacy intervention, and individualized student support. I have taught in public classroom settings as a kindergarten and third grade teacher, worked as a private tutor, and served as a reading instructor for English language learners in a program for low-income families. I also spent two years teaching English and science to students in grades first through sixth in Italy, where I gained valuable experience working in multilingual and multicultural classrooms. Additionally, I have supported students with special needs in both inclusive and one-on-one settings, adapting instruction to meet a wide range of learning styles and abilities.I am passionate about cultivating curious, confident learners through creativity, hands-on exploration, and engaging, student-centered activities. My goal is to create inclusive learning environments where all students feel inspired to take ownership of their learning and grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
