My Experience
Roles & Responsibilities
2nd Grade Virtual Teacher
As a 2nd Grade Virtual Teacher, I deliver live whole-group lessons and lead targeted small-group reading and math sessions, including data-driven reading intervention groups to accelerate student growth. I design and build engaging synchronous and asynchronous lessons using Google Slides, Canva, and district curriculum materials, and streamline classroom workflows and resources through Google Workspace.
I maintain regular family communication via RingCentral (calls and texts), Canvas messages, email, and virtual conferences, and use Google Sheets to track assessments, attendance, and intervention groups for real-time instructional decisions.

4th Grade Math and Science Teacher
I led the enhancement and revamp of a hands-on digital science curriculum, building multimedia lessons that worked well live or on students’ own time. I organized our teaching materials in Google Workspace for Education and Schoology so students and teachers could work together easily and access lessons from anywhere.
I used assessment data from i-Ready, Savvas, and Google Forms to adjust instruction in real time. That let me create small-group interventions and custom learning paths so each student could make steady progress.
I also managed classroom technology through Clever to make logins and transitions smooth. To keep families informed and involved, I send weekly digital newsletters and offer virtual meetings, building a strong home–school partnership.
