I have been an educator for nearly 23 years. My teaching experience has been in many different learning environments such as preschool, the classroom, and one-on-one.
I am certified as an Early Childhood Educator and Orton-Gillingham Therapeutic Tutor.
I am a homeschool mom for the past 12 years to my three (now teenage) children. I have an extensive background in working with students of all levels, specifically children with learning disabilities. My 14-year-old daughter has dyslexia, so I bring a broad perspective not only as a teacher but as a parent.
My passion is to work with all students and help facilitate them in their learning.
