Summary
Experienced literacy educator with 18+ years in K–12 education, specializing in early literacy and foundational reading skills. I have a strong background in supporting teachers through coaching, professional development, and curriculum implementation. As a lead educator, planning and delivering data-driven learning experiences for both students and educators has always been a priority. Creating hands-on learning experiences where students can discover and engage independently starts with educators having the right training and resources. With a 95% consistent student promotion rate, my classroom practices and engaging learning experiences have proven successful.
