1st Grade Teacher
Rim of the World Unified School District

As an educator in the Rim of the World Unified School District, I have taught 1st grade, 5th grade, and 7th grade math, gaining firsthand insight into learner behavior and instructional design across developmental levels. Through targeted intervention and strategic use of i-Ready and other EdTech tools, I successfully raised student performance from two or more grade levels below to no more than one grade level below, or at/above grade level within an academic year.

At the district level, I collaborated on curriculum mapping, assessment design, and digital platform adoption, strengthening my skills in data analysis, user-centered problem-solving, and systems implementation. These experiences mirror core principles of UX and instructional design, emphasizing data-informed iteration, accessibility, and engagement to create learning experiences that drive measurable growth.
