About

With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminology, Law & Justice from the University of Illinois Chicago, and currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Special Education and Teaching at National Louis University, I am dedicated to enhancing educational experiences for diverse learners. Since 2020, I have been a Special Education Teacher Assistant with Chicago Public Schools, where I prepare materials and deliver Spanish curriculum, support classroom organization, and foster positive relationships with staff and parents to improve student outcomes. My previous role as an Administrative Office Aide at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Department of Pharmacology honed my multitasking abilities, managing office tasks, data entry, and grant preparation. My experience reflects a commitment to education and a passion for supporting students and educators in achieving their goals.
