I've been an educator for 22 years. For 16 of those years, I've taught 5th grade. I also served as an Instructional Coach for 6 years. I've taught in three states: Vermont, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
I love to empower students to take ownership of their learning. We focus on developing a growth mindset to help us build on our strengths and persevere with our challenges. As a Literacy Coach, I support teachers in developing instructional strategies based on the Science of Reading while simultaneously fostering a love of reading and writing.
