Summary
I am an enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable licensed history educator with over two decades of experience in curriculum design and instruction at the secondary level. My career has involved supporting students with diverse learning needs in both public and private educational institutions, both domestically in the United States and abroad. Throughout my tenure, I have actively participated in instructional teams and history departments, contributing valuable insights and leadership in the creation and execution of history curricula, as well as in the professional development of my colleagues. In recent years, I have primarily worked part-time to fulfill my role as the primary caregiver for my family. However, I am eager to re-establish myself within the educational sector and contribute more significantly to the field.
