About Me

Experience Summary

I have an extensive background in education and residential treatment. My strengths are building and executing academic rigorous programs for students with and without special needs. I am able to develop, monitor and implement behavior management plans which help to shape behavior and effectively build bridges between the home, school and outside support agencies; through effective team building, staff training, differentiated lessons, and analyzing data to drive instruction or behavioral interventions plans. Creating relationships and buy in and support are keys to overcoming academic and personal obstacles that many students face. We have to look at the whole child.

Teaching Style

An effective teacher identifies the current instructional level of his or her students. Common Core Standards set clear expectations. I am an accomplished teacher because I utilize a variety of approaches and I understand poor performance is not always a direction correlation to ability. All lessons are meaningful to my learners and failure is not an option. I utilize technology within each lesson. I collect and analyze data. Data drives my instruction.

My Hobbies

I love spending time with my beloved dogs and volunteering at animal rescue centers. I am very interested in learning about other cultures. I am very active with exchange students. I have been a host family in the past. I enjoy reading and challenging myself to be the best person I can be. I also enjoy going out with friend to paint, dine or watch movies.
