My passion has always been to be an effective and impactful educator. I love empowering struggling readers to gain the skills and confidence that they need to become successful readers!
One of the best parts of being an educator is identifying the individual needs of each student and providing them with unique opportunities for growth and learning. I am so happy to work with children and do what I love!

I believe every child can accomplish big things. My passion is helping uniquely-abled learners overcome challenges to gain literacy skills, confidence, and to reach their fullest potential. Every learner is gifted in a different way and one of my favorite parts of teaching is helping students discover their unique gifts. Building on their strengths and supporting them in their areas of struggle, the greatest reward is seeing the joy on a student’s face when they realize that the “big things” they have been working towards are within their reach!

I bring a wealth of educational experience to our learning sessions! I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Bloomsburg University and a master’s in Reading from Walden University. I am currently attending Commonwealth University of PA to earn my special education certification. I have been a teacher in public education for 20 years, teaching Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 5th and 6th-grade ELA and Mathematics. I currently serve as the reading interventionist for K-1 in a public charter cyber school.
Over the years, I have taught various reading curriculums and received training in programs designed to support learners who struggle with reading. I am certified through CERI as a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist. Additionally, I was a middle school math teacher for several years, fostering a balance between traditional arithmetic and Common Core strategies to help students approach, explore, and solve problems effectively.
Since 2022, I have worked with Literacy Imagined LLC, where I continue to help students develop foundational skills and build their confidence. I look forward to working with your child and helping them rediscover a love for learning!

I have always been a book lover. As a kid I loved playing library with my prized collection of Golden Books, so it was no surprise that I got my Master’s in Library Science! Although I enjoyed years as a Children’s Librarian, I have also witnessed the frustration of struggling readers. I have since made it my passion to help teach people to read and went on to get my Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist certification. As a Literacy Specialist, I am dedicated to providing students with the necessary tools to become successful readers, writers and spellers – the keys to lifelong learning. It is always a thrill to do the Happy Dance with my students when they are reading, not only with accuracy but also with understanding and confidence!
When I don’t have my nose in a book, you can find me walking the beach with my husband in Florida or visiting my kids in New York City!
