With over 30 years of experience in education, I’ve dedicated my career to helping students overcome reading challenges in order to reach their full potential.

As a reading coach and mentor, I’ve supported other educators by implementing research-based strategies that improve student outcomes. Additionally, I have extensive experience in English language development, giving me the skills to support students who are learning English as a second language.
