I have always had a passion for helping children learn and grow, which led me to earn my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Ashland University and my dual Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and as an Intervention Specialist. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching preschoolers (2 years), working with third graders (2 years), and supporting children with special needs (3 years). Each experience has given me a deep appreciation for the different ways children learn and how important it is to meet them right where they are.
I have also tutored several students throughout my time as an educator and have received specialized training in phonics (Phonics First), which I use to help young readers build strong literacy skills and develop confidence in themselves as learners. Whether I’m tutoring one-on-one or working in the classroom, I love creating a warm, supportive environment where children feel encouraged to try their best. Nothing makes me happier than watching a child’s eyes light up when something “clicks” and they realize they can do it!
