I am a new, but versatile teacher.  A 2019 graduate of the M.A.T. program from Rhode Island College, I currently teach in the Providence Public School Department.  I taught under an Emergency Certification in Elementary Special Education during the 2019-2020 school year.  In the 2020-2021 school year, I will be teaching ELL in a 4th Grade classroom.

 

I am certified to teach Elementary School in Rhode Island.  With experience working at the elementary level (in a Self-Contained Autism classroom), as well as in activities outside of the traditional classroom, I have a diverse background with much to offer.

My career prior to 2019 had consisted of a variety of marketing experience.  I decided to take this journey to become a teacher four years ago, because I wanted to make a change.  I wanted to make a change in my life and that of my family, but more importantly, I wanted to make a change in young student’s lives.

My first classroom teaching experience was at a young age during high school when I taught modules in social sciences and English in a program called School Within A School (S.W.S.).  It was a program in which I was selected to, where I had the opportunity to write curriculum and identify with peers.  Oversight of the S.W.S. program came from a board of students and teachers.

​

Additionally, I have coached youth sports for Lincoln Youth Soccer Association (LYSA), Lincoln Little League, the Town of Lincoln Parks & Recreation (Basketball) and McCall YMCA (Basketball).  I am a nationally accredited coach for basketball through NFHS.

In addition to my special education teaching experience, I have student teaching experience at the fourth-grade level.  During this in-service experience, I enjoyed working with students on a variety of subjects, but specifically in regards to social emotional learning.  I realized how important it is to connect with students, build relationships and educate and care for the whole being.
