TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This will be my 19th year teaching! I have taught across a variety of settings and grade levels, spanning grades 2 through 8. I have taught in both rural and urban settings as an intervention specialist, an elementary classroom teacher, and a full-time mentor for new elementary teachers in our district. I am currently a K6 Reading Specialist.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to create hands-on learning opportunities for students and motivate them to use critical thinking skills, connecting what they are learning in the classroom to the world around them.
