"I’m a certified NYS teacher with licenses in English (Grades 7–12), Childhood Education (Grades 1–6), and TESOL (K–12). I’ve been teaching since 2011, including 11 years with the NYC Department of Education, where I worked with students of all ages and language backgrounds. I’m passionate about helping kids feel confident and successful—whether they’re just learning to read, tackling a tough writing assignment, or preparing for the Regents. I believe in meeting students where they are, building on their strengths, and creating a supportive space where learning can really happen."
