Over the years, I’ve been honored to serve both students and fellow educators in meaningful ways. One of my proudest roles is teaching future ESL-certified educators through our local intermediate unit, where I get to support teachers as they grow their skills and confidence.
In my K–12 ESL role, I’ve had the opportunity to design school-wide language supports, lead professional development, and help multilingual students thrive academically and socially. My most rewarding moments always come from seeing a student gain the confidence to use their voice in any language.

I hold a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in curriculum and instruction. I am certified in ESL and have completed additional training in language development and culturally responsive teaching. I am currently pursuing my doctorate in curriculum and instruction, with a continued focus on supporting diverse learners and effective classroom practice.
