I have been an educator since 2004 and have taught grades K-2 and have also been a reading interventionist, special education reading resource teacher and a reading coach. I enjoy opportunities to lead professional development in the areas of best practice in teaching and literacy practices as well as foundational reading skills for parents. I am a repeat teacher of the year nominee and have been recognized as a community partner for a continued venture of housing books in laundromats and barber and beauty shops so children can read while they wait on a parent to be serviced. I currently serve in the role of district academic interventionist at Ebenezer Elementary Montessori/Traditional/Inquiry School.
