"I am a dedicated educator with over a decade of experience working with students of all ages and abilities. I hold a degree in General Science with minors in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Oregon and am a formerly certified elementary/middle school teacher. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about making challenging concepts accessible, whether through creative lesson plans, one-on-one guidance, or adapting to diverse learning styles.

My teaching experience spans classrooms, individualized instruction, and specialized support for students with unique needs. As a paraprofessional in special education, I’ve honed my ability to connect with students who require extra guidance and encouragement. I excel in creating a supportive and engaging environment where students can feel confident in their abilities and develop a love for learning. My background in science and math allows me to simplify complex ideas into manageable steps, helping students build a solid foundation for success.

Beyond academics, I aim to empower students to believe in themselves and reach their full potential. My approach combines patience, creativity, and a genuine commitment to helping each student thrive. Whether it’s supporting struggling learners or challenging advanced students, I am dedicated to meeting them where they are and guiding them toward their goals." less...
