About Me

I am a highly-motivated teacher with experience across many educational settings, from coaching and outdoor adventures to classroom teaching and special education. I started my teaching path in 2010 when I began working in outdoor education. With the outdoors as my classroom, I spent several years teaching outdoor science classes, leadership seminars and adventure activities to students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Working in the outdoor ed field was a great way to develop communication skills and teaching methods that are applicable to students with unique learning styles. In 2014, I became the Director of an Outdoor Education program - developing curriculum for our science classes, teaching and training a professional staff, and implementing a special education vocational program. Although I loved my experience directing a program, I realized that my passion is in working directly with students and helping them build the skills and relationships that will lead them to success. I have now moved my classroom indoors and I currently work as a learning specialist at a High School in East Boston, MA. My role is teaching students with learning disabilities and my primary subjects of focus are math and chemistry. I also love the Spanish language and teach it whenever possible.
