Hello! I am a certified K–5 teacher currently teaching kindergarten with Grand Rapids Public Schools. I have experience teaching preschool through 4th grade. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Early Childhood.
I have experience working with a wide range of learners, including students with ADHD, ASD, and other special needs. I recently earned my LETRS certification after completing a two-year training program in the Science of Reading, giving me specialized knowledge in evidence-based literacy instruction.
I am passionate about meeting children where they are and helping them reach their full potential. I am highly skilled in assessing students and teaching foundational reading skills, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. I believe learning should be engaging, hands-on, and fun.
Fun fact! I was honored to be recognized as Region 3 Michigan Teacher of the Year (2023–2024) by the Michigan Department of Education. I am mostly looking for some summer tutoring options to stay busy this summer! I prefer to meet in libraries and public spaces near Standale/Grandville/Walker. I am committed to building confidence, fostering growth, and helping every child succeed. I look forward to working with your family!
