Ed./Early Childhood from Northwest Missouri State University. Three years later I obtained my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University. Later that same year, I received my certification in Special Education grades K-12.Over the last 20 years, I have taught/worked with all grades K-12. I have taught in both public and private schools, and I am currently teaching in a residential therapeutic school. I definitely enjoy new challenges and working with a wide variety of students! Although I love working with all students, I am most passionate about working with elementary/middle school students who are struggling in the areas of math, reading/writing, and language. With my wide range of experience and knowledge, Im able to personalize a plan of study for your child, and then work closely with you and your child to reach their goals. My belief in education is very solid. In order for a child to have success in their lives, they first need to have an appreciation for learning, and experience the rewards of that learning. As your childs tutor, I will help to bridge the gap between your childs learning and success. With my enthusiasm and dedication, your child will be able to learn through a variety of teaching techniques and fun learning activities!

In my free time, I enjoy walking my dogs, jogging, and traveling to different state and national parks. I am also an extreme sports enthusiast who enjoys skydiving, rappelling, and white-river rafting.
