Hi there! I’m in my 10th year of teaching here in the Twin Cities, and I’m passionate about helping kids discover that learning can actually be fun! I’ve worn many hats over the years — K-5 Reading and Math Interventionist (working with small groups and 1:1), 5th grade teacher where I learned how to adapt lessons for every type of learner and even a continuous K-5 building substitute. During Covid, I even tutored online to make sure my students kept growing and feeling confident.

Hi there! I’m in my 10th year of teaching here in the Twin Cities, and I’m passionate about helping kids discover that learning can actually be fun! I’ve worn many hats over the years — K-5 Reading and Math Interventionist (working with small groups and 1:1), 5th grade teacher where I learned how to adapt lessons for every type of learner and even a continuous K-5 building substitute. During Covid, I even tutored online to make sure my students kept growing and feeling confident.
I’m trained in The OL & LA Science of Reading, SIPPS, and FastBridge, which means I know how to make phonics, blending, segmenting, and reading fluency “click” for kids. I’m also trained in AdVantage Math Recovery Courses 1-3 and hold a Master’s in Education Technology from Concordia University, St. Paul — so I love bringing in engaging resources, games, and creative approaches to keep students motivated and excited about learning.
My goal is simple: help students feel proud of what they can do and excited to take on new challenges. I’m patient, encouraging, and love creating lessons that connect to students’ real-life interests. Whether we’re growing as readers, boosting math skills, or tackling homework and test prep, we’ll make it fun, confidence-building, and something they’ll actually look forward to!
