Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am a licensed elementary educator with over 14 years of experience teaching both in the classroom and supporting family with tutoring/homeschool services. I have endorsements in Reading K-12 and ESOL (language learners). Most of my career I have worked with struggling learners (Dyslexic, Autistic, ESOL, ADHD), working in Title I schools. Starting January 2025, I will be working toward my Dyslexic certification with Orton Gillingham.
Both sets of my grandparents had farms, so I grew up learning to grow and can my own food, sew, and make most of my meals from scratch. I take pride in continuing these traditions and promote these valuable skills.
