Since joining the Long Beach Unified School District in 2019, my career has been defined by a deep commitment to student growth and educational equity. Beginning as a Special Education Paraeducator, I had the privilege of working across elementary and high school levels, supporting students with a wide spectrum of unique needs. I also worked with the Adult Community Transition Program, where I helped young adults master independent living and secure meaningful employment tailored to their unique talents. Driven by a passion to make a broader impact, I advanced my career into teaching. As a current Substitute Teacher, I utilize my extensive special education foundation daily, allowing me to fluidly navigate and lead both general education and specialized classrooms. I bring a comprehensive, all-ages perspective to instruction, always focusing on helping students unlock their potential and reach their personal milestones. I look forward to meeting you!
