I have been a teacher for 10 years. My undergraduate degree is in History with minors in Secondary Education and Psychology. I earned my Master's of Education in Special Education.

I have experience teaching a variety of students in several settings. At the start of my career, I taught History at a residential school for Special Education students with intense trauma and emotional needs. I transitioned to a public school where I now teach English and Academic Support classes. I am also the Special Education Department Coordinator, similar to a Department Head. I have also tutored students online for 2 years with extenuating circumstances which have kept them from attending in a traditional school setting.

In my English classes, we focus on reading and writing skills. I often use graphic novels and audiobooks to ensure that all of my students can access the content and enjoy their experiences while reading. I utilize graphic organizers for all writing and work with students to break down our longer assignments and homework into manageable tasks.

In my Academic Support classes, we work on study skills, test prep, executive functioning, reading, writing, digital literacy, and post-grad skills (interviews, cover letters, resumes, financial literacy, college applications, etc.).
