"Hi, I'm a certified educator with a strong background in literacy and over five years of experience working with students in grades K–6. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education (B–6) with a concentration in math, and I'm currently completing my Master's in Literacy Education. I'm certified to teach both Early Childhood Birth and Grade 2) and Childhood (Grades 1-6).

My teaching style is supportive, structured, and research-based. I have experience working with both confident learners and those who need extra support to build foundational reading and writing skills, so I know how to meet your child where they are at and help them to grow in a safe, positive environment where they feel seen, capable, and proud of their progress.

I completed my student teaching in a 1st grade classroom, where I designed and taught an integrated unit plan with an emphasis on differentiation, collaboration, and student-centered learning. I also planned and led daily instruction, administered formal and informal assessments, and implemented classroom management strategies to foster independence and responsibility. While teaching Kindergarten, I discovered my passion for teaching phonics and early literacy skills. I've seen firsthand how these foundational skills empower children and set them up for lifelong academic success and I want to be part of that journey. I've also worked 1:1 with 4th graders during a practicum, as well as with 2nd and 5th graders through my graduate clinical fieldwork, where I designed and implemented personalized literacy interventions focused on phonics, decoding, fluency, comprehension, and writing.

I truly want my students to grow and succeed, so I welcome any background information or resources parents can share to help support their learning. I'm also easy to reach and always aim to respond quickly and clearly. Whether your child is developing early reading skills, struggling with comprehension, or needs targeted support in writing or math, I'm happy to help!" less...
