About the store
After earning my Master of Arts in Teaching with a specialization in Adapted Curriculum, I launched my career as a self-contained Community-Based Instruction teacher. I serve high school students in grades 9–12, designing and delivering instruction that centers on functional academics, essential life skills, and hands-on vocational training. My lessons are individualized and practical — from reading and math skills applied to real-world tasks, to money management, cooking, community navigation, job readiness, and workplace routines.
Currently, I teach in a transition program for learners ages 18–22, supporting their pathway to greater independence, meaningful employment, and community inclusion. I collaborate closely with families, job coaches, and community partners to create work-based learning opportunities, internships, and functional assessments that inform personalized transition plans. I’m passionate about creating respectful, student-centered environments where each learner’s strengths are celebrated and progress is measurable.
I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to empower young adults as they develop the skills, confidence, and agency needed for life after school.

Teaching style
I use a student-centered, strength-based approach that emphasizes hands-on, community-based learning. My lessons are functional and goal-oriented—focused on real-world skills like money management, cooking, travel training, and job readiness—delivered through differentiated instruction, task analysis, and visual supports. I collaborate closely with families, job coaches, and community partners, use data and functional assessments to guide instruction, and create structured, respectful environments that build independence, self-advocacy, and meaningful post-school outcomes.
