I have proudly served as an educator in the Commonwealth of Virginia for over 22 years. Throughout my career, I have taught both 1st and 3rd grade and currently serve as a reading specialist. I am deeply passionate about integrating technology, Social Studies, and early literacy to create engaging, evidence-based learning experiences for students. My professional training includes IMSE, Wilson Reading, evidence-based literacy instruction, and additional specialized practices that support strong foundational reading development.
