Professional Background

For the past 7 years, I have focused my practice on individual, literacy-based lessons.

Previously, I was a classroom teacher for 15 years in both public and private schools, teaching elementary, middle and high school students. As a classroom teacher, I wished for more time to differentiate my instruction to reach every student. I craved more time to collaborate with parents and develop lessons that resonated with struggling students.

Now parent participation and personalized lessons are an integral part of my practice.
