"I am an experienced elementary educator with a deep passion for helping students grow academically and develop a love of learning. I founded an elementary school in 2015 and spent several years teaching in the city of St. Louis, where I worked with students with a wide range of needs, including ADHD, Special Education, Multilingual Learners, and Gifted and Talented students. I have a proven track record of success in the classroom and later expanded my impact as an Instructional Coach and District Leader. While those roles allowed me to support educators and systems, I am now seeking opportunities to reconnect with what I loved most about teaching, working directly with students. I believe learning should be fun, engaging, and meaningful, and I strive to build on each child’s natural curiosity to help them feel confident, capable, and excited about learning." less...
