Welcome! I retired in May, 2020 after thirty years in education, and I am so excited to continue teaching on Outschool! I have experience teaching students in first grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. I also taught Reading Recovery and served as a reading interventionist, an assistant principal and a testing coordinator. During my years in fourth and fifth grade, I specialized in reading and writing. Reading is my passion, and I am so excited to share that passion with your child. My lessons will focus on reading comprehension strategies and grammar.

I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Texas Woman’s University in Elementary Education with a minor in English. I also hold a Master’s Degree from the University of North Texas in Educational Administration. I am ESL certified and have taught online ESL classes for two years. My husband and I live on a ranch in East Texas, so I spend much of my free time helping him with the never ending duties ranch life requires. We also enjoy spending time with our four beautiful grandchildren.

I believe that when students are engaged, they will be productive learners. I can’t wait to provide an engaging and fun learning experience for your child!
