With 13 years of experience as an educator, a Master’s degree in Education along with special education certification, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the field. Currently in my role is a resource teacher, I am committed to providing tailored support and fostering inclusive learning environments for my students. As a lifelong learner, I continuously seek out opportunities to enhance my skills and knowledge of evidence-based practices that support student needs and to continually grow my pedagogy.  In addition to my classroom responsibilities, I have played an active role in chairing committees within various local associations, as well as developed and delivered impactful professional development sessions for teachers to help drive positive change in education.

Outside of education, I have years of experience in bookkeeping and financial management. Working for my family’s business and managing bookkeeping duties was a formative experience that instilled in me invaluable skills and a deep appreciation for the intricacies of financial management. In this role, I navigated the day-to-day financial operations ensuring accurate record-keeping and adherence to budgetary constraints. Balancing multiple responsibilities within the day-to-day operations of the business taught me the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and clear communication. Moreover, overseeing the financial aspects provided me with firsthand insight into the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurial endeavors, shaping my approach to problem-solving and strategic decision-making in subsequent roles. 

Whether facilitating dynamic classroom discussions or optimizing financial operations, I prioritize building strong relationships and having clear and open lines of communication.
