Summary


I have been involved in education for many years and have had the opportunity to grow and develop myself as well as educating children. I have developed a strong background in reading intervention and literacy development. I have a deep understand of instructional strategies and assessment techniques to support diverse learning needs. I work extensively to collaborate with teachers and to provide an environment that promotes student success.

I have been trained in LETRS and the SPIRE intervention program. For the past two years I have also implemented the 95% Phonics intervention program. I am constantly assessing students and adjusting my instruction to meet their needs.
