I currently serve as a substitute teacher for the Cecil County Public School District, where I have held both long-term and short-term assignments as a classroom teacher, special education teacher, and paraprofessional. My experience primarily spans preschool through fifth grade, across general and special education settings. In my roles as a classroom and special education teacher, I am responsible for engaging with students and faculty, managing classroom behavior, implementing or developing lesson plans, and fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. Working in multiple schools throughout the district has allowed me to gain valuable experience with a diverse student population, each with unique learning needs.
As a paraprofessional, I provide one-on-one support to students, assisting with both behavioral and academic needs while ensuring continuous care and encouragement throughout the school day.
As a Youth Cheerleading Coach for Elkton Youth Football, I work with children ages 5 to 14, guiding them in both athletic and personal development. I began as a junior coach in high school and transitioned to head coach after graduation.
My responsibilities include choreographing age-appropriate routines, ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants, promoting teamwork, and supporting the growth of each athlete’s confidence and social skills. In addition to teaching cheerleading fundamentals, I emphasize character-building values such as responsibility, accountability, creativity, and friendship—helping young athletes grow both on and off the field.
