I am an experienced special education teacher and educational therapist specializing in reading inte
I bring 20+ years of K-12 experience in early childhood education, reading intervention, individualized instruction and parent education. I specialize in designing and delivering targeted supports that help struggling learners make measurable progress.

I have led professional development for educators and organized parent workshops to extend literacy support beyond the classroom.
I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to create inclusive, student-centered learning environments and coach staff in effective interventions. I am committed to improving outcomes for diverse learners through tailored instruction, data-driven practices, and family engagement.
