I believe educators must see students as humans first and learners second. School should be a whole-body experience, not just an academic one, because students who are struggling mentally, physically, emotionally, or socially cannot fully thrive in the classroom. My teaching centers on connection, care, and culturally responsive practices that honor who students are and what they need. By creating a safe, supportive environment and nurturing the whole child, I help students build confidence, engage deeply, and grow into strong readers, writers, and thinkers.
I implement intentional instruction tailored to individual needs, such as audio, visual and language support, ensuring that all students receive the proper tools they require for academic success.
As a Secondary English Teacher, I focus on reading, writing, and critical analysis to enhance students' communication & literacy skills.
By prioritizing relationships, collaboration, and consistency, I cultivate an environment where every student feels valued and capable. All literature and lessons are centered around cultural backgrounds and educating students about the world around them.
I have extensive experience in K–12 English education, higher education admissions, and community engagement.
