I am certified pre-k through fifth grade. I have taught the last 15 years in an elementary classroom. I have taught first grade, third grade and fourth grade throughout my years. When struggling with reading either whole group, small group or independent tutoring I use what I’ve learned in my Orton Gillingham training to help the child become the best they can be.

~ Compassionate and energetic with my students

~ I’m driven to promote student learning through engaging curriculum and innovative teaching techniques.

~ Technology is used on a daily basis with my students.

~ Activities, games, quick checks, etc. to reinforce core concepts and gauge student comprehension.

~ Attentive to student learning requirements with adapting to varied learning modalities.

~ STEM is a must!

~ I am Orton-Gillingham train (certified).

When I’m not working you will find Adrian, my husband, and I working on some project on our 9 acres farm. If there isn’t a project happening then the animals receive more love. Our animals include three dogs, dairy beef feeders , one dairy heifer, three horses, a donkey and two barn cats. All of them are spoiled.

My daughter, Callie, is a senior in high school. Her tennis season just ended. Callie is looking forward to beginning her new chapter. She’s excited for college.
