About
I am a dedicated educator currently pursuing my Master of Science in TESOL, maintaining a 4.0 GPA while working toward my professional teaching degree. I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year for Area 5 within the Charter School USA network, and I served as 3rd Grade Team Lead at Renaissance Academy from 2020–2025, where I supported instructional excellence, collaboration, and student growth. I am deeply committed to service, volunteering every second Saturday with Families Restoring the Home Front, Inc., providing food and clothing to the community, and serving as a Children’s Church teacher every third Sunday at All Nations Church. I am compassionate, growth-minded, and value strong communication and teamwork with peers and colleagues. My academic and professional journey aligns with the Honor Society’s goals by reflecting a commitment to scholarship, leadership, service, and integrity, as I strive to make a meaningful and lasting impact in education and the communities I serve
