As a Lead Teacher/Instructional Coach, I support teachers in developing effective instructional strategies that directly benefit student learning. By providing ongoing professional development and feedback, I ensure that educators are equipped to meet student needs. I also help review student performance data to find areas where students need extra help and support. My role encourages teamwork among teachers, which helps students do better in school.

This is my 12th year in education, with previous experience focused in the classroom. I've taught 3rd grade for three years, 2nd grade for one year, and 4th grade for six years. My primary area has been in ELA, where I particularly enjoy guiding students through the writing process.

As a Lead Teacher, my job is to create a supportive environment where all students can grow academically and personally. I work closely with teachers to make sure lessons are effective and to use data to meet students’ specific needs. By promoting a positive school culture and working toward shared goals, I help build a strong foundation for students to succeed in school and in life.
