"I am a licensed Special Education teacher with a strong background in supporting diverse learners across academic and behavioral domains. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in education and am currently completing my Master’s in Teaching with a Special Education endorsement (expected completion July 2025). My professional training includes developing and implementing IEPs, progress monitoring, behavior intervention planning (BIPs), and functional behavior assessments (FBAs). I also teach SIMS sentence writing to students in a resource classroom setting, helping learners strengthen sentence structure, clarity, and written expression through explicit, systematic instruction.

I have several years of experience teaching and tutoring students from elementary through middle school, primarily in reading, writing, math, and executive functioning skills. My experience includes both classroom instruction and one-on-one support in small-group and individualized settings.
