Work Experience:
St. Philip School, San Francisco
1st Grade Teacher | August 2021-Present
At St. Philips, I teach a self-contained 1st grade class of 20-25 students, and serve as grade level leader for our
Kindergarten-2nd grade band. I integrate my background in Classical and Montessori education and my
Orton-Gilingham training to ensure that my classroom is differentiated to meet the needs and interests of every
student to help them shine. I integrate multi-sensory instruction into literacy instruction and encourage hands-on
learning in math. Creating a strong home-to-school connection by partnering with parents and building a strong
classroom community of students who are empowered with the skills to problem solve when they face challenges
is also a fundamental piece of my teaching.
As Literacy Teacher, I developed and implemented a literacy program for a lower elementary classroom of
students in grades one, two, and three in a 1:1 and small group setting. The program included phonics and spelling
instruction, writing skills, reading instruction and practice, presentation skills as well as poetry memorization and
study.
From 2012-2019 before being promoted to Dean of Students, in addition to teaching, I performed informally in a
leadership role involved in the development of the school’s strategic direction, extending the school’s connections
with other like institutions, and networking the school within the classical education community and religious
based education spaces.
As Dean of Students, responsibilities include handling student issues, supporting other teachers with classroom
discipline, enforcing the schoolwide discipline system, maintaining the school’s handbook, and acting as liaison
between the school and parents.
