I’m a licensed Learning Behavior Specialist with over 15 years of experience working across education, foster care, and the juvenile justice system. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching and an Illinois Professional Educator License (LBS1). Throughout my career, I’ve taught students of all ages—from early elementary to high school—in both general and special education settings. I’ve provided instruction in all core subjects, including reading, writing, math, science, and life skills, and have led both co-taught and self-contained classrooms. I’m experienced in developing and managing IEPs, leading 504 meetings, and using data-driven strategies to support academic growth and behavioral success.
I now offer tutoring services with a focus on special education. My strengths include individualized instruction, executive functioning support, behavior management, and social-emotional skill development. I’m skilled in using tools like ABC data collection, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and instructional technology to tailor learning to each student’s needs. Whether a student needs help catching up academically, building confidence, or improving focus and organization, I meet them where they are and support their growth with compassion, structure, and high expectations
