"I am an Ohio licensed teacher with an additional reading endorsement for primary grades. I also have additional training in Orton Gillingham, Wilson, KAY, and Conscious Discipline. I have additional work experience in allied health, and curriculum writing. I was a teacher for 21 years; I left the classroom to pursue education consulting, curriculum writing, and support for students in remediation, tutoring, and home-school support.

I am specialized in english language arts, with strategies from Orton Gillingham for dyslexia and struggling readers. I also have extensive training with The Science of Reading, and meeting state standards for testing. I want to help you succeed! I use a growth mindset model with principles from Conscious Discipline to build connections. I support you to make learning fun and engaging while developing ownership of the education process.

We are an outdoor family, and you will find us enjoying hobbies such as camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. We live in an area where we are blessed to be surrounded by nature. Most of my time is spent with my husband, kids, and grandkids, connecting with the outdoors. I look forward to learning about your personal and educational interests and hobbies! This allows us to better engage in the learning process. I always spend the beginning of my time learning about what motivates you and sparks your interest in learning. There is no better way to ensure a positive interaction with learning than if we have built a relationship which we can build on." less...
