I am an internationally educated secondary English teacher building my professional practice in British Columbia. My work centres on language learning, inclusive and culturally responsive teaching, curriculum design, inquiry, and meaningful assessment. I aim to create learning spaces where students feel safe to take risks, connect learning with identity and community, and communicate with growing confidence.

Community Engagement
I believe that all students enter the classroom with prior knowledge and experiences that serve as a foundation for new learning. As an educator, my role is to facilitate the development of this knowledge through purposeful, student-centered instruction. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment where students are encouraged to engage, take risks, and achieve their full potential.
I recognize the diverse strengths, backgrounds, and learning needs of each student. Through thoughtful planning, differentiation, and ongoing assessment, I strive to ensure equitable access to learning and meaningful participation for all students. My goal is to support learners in developing confidence, critical thinking skills, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
