I currently serve as a NYC Teacher Leader: Peer Collaborative Teacher. I have been teaching 8th Grade Humanities where my classroom serves as a Lab site for teachers to visit and look for best practices and establishing a positive, engaging classroom environment. I also provide professional development to the school focusing on school initiatives and curriculum, while following up with in class support. Prior to this I served as the school\\'s Literacy Coach and Testing Coordinator. I am looking forward to transitioning to VILS Coach to provide ongoing support to teachers and staff as we begin our exciting new journey with this initiative.
