All about me…

Educator based in southern California.

With nearly 20 years of experience in secondary education—ranging from traditional to continuation high schools and even some time in administration—I design every resource with one goal in mind: to help teachers teach smarter, not harder.

My teaching style blends structure with creativity, always grounded in clear objectives, real-world connections, and a deep respect for student voice. I prioritize literacy-rich instruction that’s aligned with AVID strategies and Common Core standards, using scaffolded activities to make complex ideas accessible for all learners. Whether I'm designing a lecture on macroeconomics or a debate over historical perspectives, I aim to build critical thinking through inquiry, writing, and purposeful discussion. With nearly two decades of classroom experience, I’ve learned to value both consistency and flexibility—creating lessons that are academically rigorous, classroom-tested, and ready to adapt to diverse learning needs.
