My dedication to supporting students stems from a deep understanding of the challenges they face when learning. Throughout my 12-year tenure as a middle school Language Arts teacher and literacy specialist, I've come to realize that effective teaching involves tailoring approaches to suit individual learning styles.

Having pursued my master's degree in Literacy at Queens College in New York, I've acquired a comprehensive understanding of literacy education. This academic journey has not only honed my skills but has also underscored the importance of empathy and adaptability in the teaching process.

Central to my teaching philosophy is the belief that fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment is key to student success. By recognizing and respecting each student's unique needs, I aim to facilitate a smooth and enriching learning experience.

My passion lies in empowering students to become proficient in reading and writing. I firmly believe that literacy skills are foundational to academic achievement and personal growth. Through my unwavering commitment, I strive to instill in my students a lifelong love for learning and language.

My journey as an educator continues to inspire me to innovate and refine my teaching methods, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive. I am deeply committed to making a positive impact on the lives of my students and equipping them with the skills and confidence to succeed in their educational pursuits and beyond.
