I am a highly motivated teacher with 19 years of experience teaching 4th grade, 5th grade gifted students, and middle school English Language Arts.

I have my Masters in reading instruction from St. Ambrose University as well as my plus 30 hours in reading instruction and various mental health courses for adolescents.

My teaching style is patient, empathetic, and fun! I will challenge you to think critically and grow as a reader, writer, and public speaker. I am eager to work with you and build your education and watch you shine!
