About
I am a certified teacher. I decided not to return to the classroom this year, but rather focus my teaching skills in one to one or small group settings. I have been an Intervention Reading Specialist and an Educational Coach for the entire school. I have taught all elementary grades 1-5, as well as 6th grade math and science for gifted and talented students. Previously, students and parents nominated me for the Walmart Teacher of the Year. I won that year and while I received a $1000 stipend for that honor, the real reward is knowing that parents and students felt I deserved it.
I am enthusiastic about leading students to the next level. I meet them where they are and watch them soar. There is not a feeling like it. My goal is to teach solid, core understanding of a subject. I have a multitude of best practices after my 23 years as a teacher.
While I have extensive training in reading interventions, I have always loved math and science. I taught Engineering in middle school with 6th grade students.
I currently reside in Carmel, Indiana. I have 5 grandsons here who visit several times a week. My facebook profile is:

if you would like to learn a bit about me.
I would love to work with students who may feel as though they are struggling to grasp a subject. I want every child to know they can do anything they set their mind to do!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My first meeting can be over the phone or in person with the parent to get a feel for what outcomes/goals they would like to see. Next, I will meet with parent and child, but I would like to speak directly with the child to see what they feel they would like to accomplish in our time together. Then we would set up a time that would work for both if us. I prefer to work at my home.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As I stated, I am a certified 1-6 teacher. I have taught 23 years in 3 different school corporations. I have excellent references upon request.
