I am a Florida-certified elementary teacher with over 14 years of experience working with children ages 5–12. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Florida Professional Educator Certificate in Elementary Education (K–6). I am also ESOL, Reading and Multi Sensory endorsed. I’ve taught Kindergarten, 4th grade, and 5th grade, served as a math and reading interventionist, and now work as a Math Coach and Team Lead. Over the years, I’ve taught in many settings—traditional classrooms, small groups, one-on-one tutoring, and through volunteer work supporting students outside the regular school day.
Much of my work has focused on students who begin the year significantly below grade level. Using a mix of whole-group instruction, targeted small groups, and individualized one-on-one support, I’ve helped many students grow one to three grade levels in reading and math. I have extensive experience working with learners with dyslexia, ADHD, specific learning disabilities (SLD), and other learning differences. I adapt my approach—using clear, step-by-step explanations, multi-sensory strategies, and frequent check-ins—so each child can access the material in a way that makes sense for them.
No matter the setting, relationships come first. I’m intentional about building trust and rapport so students feel safe, respected, and willing to take risks. Parents often tell me their child “finally feels understood” and is more confident and willing to try after working with me. My goal in every session—whether whole class, small group, or one-on-one—is for students to leave feeling more capable, more supported, and proud of their progress.
