I taught first grade for 5 years and second grade for 3 years. I hold a valid teaching credential for all subjects (math, reading, writing, science, and social studies) for K through 6th grade. I love helping students understand the thinking process in a Math problem so they have confidence when working problem on their own. I have also completed Reading Academy, a 60 hour training, focusing on all aspects of reading and comprehension. I look forward to working with your student and helping them reach their goals. I believe anyone can learn and grow given encouragement and the tools to do so.

My hobbies include hiking and travel. This spring we started raising chickens and I am looking forward to enjoying fresh eggs. I also have 4 cats who love to go on walks with me.
