"I have been a dedicated high school chemistry, biochemistry, and AP Research teacher for 11 years, fostering an interactive and inquiry-based learning environment for students. My approach to teaching emphasizes hands-on experimentation, real-world applications, and critical thinking, ensuring that students not only master complex scientific concepts but also develop a genuine passion for STEM. Beyond my role as an educator, I serve as the head of the high school math and science department, overseeing curriculum development, leading instructional planning, and mentoring fellow educators to enhance the quality of STEM education in my school. My leadership role requires me to evaluate teaching methodologies, analyze student performance data, and implement strategies that improve both student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.

I hold a Doctor of Education (EdD) degree, which has deepened my expertise in curriculum design, educational leadership, and instructional strategies. In addition to classroom teaching, I have extensive experience in tutoring and mentoring students in one-on-one and small-group settings, tailoring my instruction to meet diverse learning needs. My ability to break down complex topics into digestible concepts has been instrumental in helping students build confidence and succeed in STEM subjects.

Beyond my school-based responsibilities, I have worked as a STEM Learning Specialist and a Master Teacher at Math for America, where I support educators in refining their instructional techniques and integrating innovative teaching strategies. My extensive experience in classroom instruction, tutoring, and professional development allows me to provide high-quality, individualized support to students, ensuring that they not only achieve academic success but also develop a lifelong appreciation for scientific inquiry and problem-solving." less...
