I love teaching reading and writing skills at the primary level! As a result, I have delved into the research about best practices of literacy instruction, and I began my own afterschool literacy program for children. I have a bachelor’s degree in French, a credential to teach English as a foreign language from Georgetown University, and a master’s degree from the School of Education at Northwestern University. I have more than 15 years of teaching experience in international primary schools, and am passionate about encouraging and supporting children to believe in their abilities and reach their full potential. When I am not teaching, I swim or hike with my husband, eight year old daughter and our puppy named Teddy (Bear).
