      I plan and deliver engaging and effective English Language Arts lessons to 8th grade students aligned with curricular standards. I assess student performance and provide constructive feedback to enhance learning. I foster a positive and inclusive classroom culture that promotes critical thinking and creativity. I collaborate with colleagues, parents, and administrators to support student success. I stay current with educational technology and integrate it into my teaching practice. As an 8th grade United States history teacher, I am responsible for teaching students about the history of the United States, specifically how the nation evolved in the 20th Century. I design and deliver lessons, assess student learning, and provide feedback to help students understand the events and people that have shaped the country. I also facilitate discussions and debates to encourage critical thinking skills and use technology and other resources to enhance student learning. As an advisor, I assist middle school children with their academic and personal goals. I get to know each child in my care on a personal level, including their learning profile, personality, family dynamics, athletic and extracurricular interests. I am in frequent communication with students' family members to support the relationship between school and home. As a sports coach (tennis, volleyball, soccer) I train and instruct middle school athletes on their specific sport, including technique, strategy, and fitness. I create game plans, analyze opponent strengths and weaknesses, and motivate players to perform at their best.

As a Student Coordinator, I orchestrate enriching student activities, events, and field trips, while also prioritizing their social and emotional growth.
