"I am a dedicated educator with a background in Literacy and Language Studies. Growing up, I didn’t always enjoy school—I even used to hope for an earthquake to shake things up! That experience now fuels my passion for making learning meaningful and engaging, especially for students who may feel school isn’t for them.

With over a decade of experience in education, I have taught in dual-immersion classrooms, worked as an instructional coach, and now serve as the Director of Elementary Program Strategy. I specialize in literacy development, reading comprehension, and foundational skills, using research-based, hands-on approaches to make learning accessible and enjoyable. I also have a deep passion for math rigor, constantly exploring the best strategies to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

Whether working one-on-one with students or coaching teachers, I focus on fostering inclusive, enriching environments where every learner feels valued, supported, and capable of success." less...
