Summary

I've been working in elementary classrooms for about 12 years. While attending school for a bachelors degree in Early Elementary Education I worked as a paraprofessional. After, I began teaching first grade where I've been teaching for about 7 years. I have a passion for working with children and teaching. Throughout the teaching experience I learned I have an interest in teaching reading. Recently I graduated with a masters in Reading Education. Furthering my education has enhanced my knowledge and understanding for supporting young readers. The education provided the skills needed to support all levels of readers in becoming proficient, life long readers.
