With 11 years of experience teaching in Chicago Public Schools, I am a National Board Certified Teacher specializing in supporting students with exceptional needs. I’ve mentored educators through the rigorous two-year board certification process and guided novice teachers toward their certification. Passionate about empowering educators, I’ve developed and led professional development sessions for diverse audiences, both in-person and online, at district and school levels. As a case manager in a K-12 setting, I collaborated with parents, staff, and students to create supportive learning environments. My mission is to equip educators with practical tools, foster their confidence, and inspire meaningful change in classrooms and beyond.
