My professional journey began in the public school classroom, where I cultivated expertise in designing engaging, inclusive, and effective learning experiences. As a teacher, I gained firsthand insight into how instructional strategies, curriculum design, and student-centered practices impact learning outcomes across diverse classrooms.
These experiences provide the foundation for my transition into higher education. Through my K–12 work, I have developed a deep understanding of:
Curriculum design and alignment to standards
Evidence-based instructional strategies and assessment
Differentiated instruction to meet diverse learner needs
Integration of technology to enhance learning
Using data to inform instruction and improve outcomes
This background equips me to bring a practitioner’s perspective to faculty development, instructional design, and research in higher education. My goal is to leverage this foundation to support future educators and learners while contributing to scholarship and innovative teaching practices.
