I am a licensed teacher in the State of Indiana with over 25 years experience teaching, tutoring and coaching.  I have been trained in the Orton-Gillingham method by The Dyslexia Institute of Indiana and in Kindergarten OG by the M.A. Rooney Foundation.   I have completed Advanced Orton-Gillingham Training and Written Expression Training through the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana.  I have been LETRS trained through Voyager Sopris Learning and have completed all 8 units with Certificates of Mastery (earning 98% or above on all quizzes and tests).  I have completed courses on Dyslexia and Structured Literacy through the Montessori Foundation.  In 2018-2020 I worked in a private Montessori school serving students who have Individual Service Plans.  I have also taken one of Dr. Becky Bailey's Conscious Discipline trainings and strive to use her methods to create trusting relationships with my students.  I am a professional member of the International Dyslexia Association.
