I began my teaching career in 2013 and has since taught English Language Arts across grades 6–12. I have served in a variety of roles including a summer school and after-school director, RTI/TST Coordinator, Testing Coordinator, and ACT Prep Instructor. I've held multiple leadership roles, including Lead Teacher, Department Chair, and Leadership Team Member, and has mentored new educators along the way. I have been an ELA Curriculum Specialist for the last 6 years. In addition to my K–12 work, I am also an adjunct professor of English, teaching Composition I and II at the collegiate level.
