I am still teaching in the classroom. I have taught kindergarten, first, second and third grade. I’m personally very surprised by how many years I have been teaching. But I love working with young students, especially when they make a connection and their eyes light up. I continually re-evaluate my teaching practices and try to stay up to date with all the current research.

I have 2 bachelor’s degrees, a postgraduate diploma in ELL, and a Master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, with a specialization in early childhood literacy. I have a very personal passion to help beginning readers be successful.
