I have a MS in Teaching & Learning from Colorado State and a MA in International Education from Columbia University. I am certified in Elementary Teaching and 7-12 Social Studies. I taught 5th grade for 5 years, and various K-12 grades and subjects, including study skills and special education, for another 5! In addition to my professional experience, I have personally struggled with organization and study skills, and learned to keep myself organized and on-task by understanding how my own brain work and learning to leverage my strengths!
