I am a graduate of Sewanee: University of the South. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English. I also have two master's degrees in education - a Master's of Education from Vanderbilt University in Special Education and a Master's of Arts in Educational Leadership from Lipscomb University. I have over 15 years of teaching and tutoring students ages 5 through 15 in all subjects areas. I am a licensed ESL and special educator in TN. I am most excited about helping students struggling with reading and math find the keys to help them unlock the subjects so that they love to learn. I also enjoy helping students find the subjects about which they are passionate and helping them go deeper in those subject areas. I am passionate about all students having access to education and ensuring they have an access point regardless of their primary language, disability, or background.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, running, knitting, and spending time outside on our small family farm. I love to read al types of books, especially science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and memoirs. If I'm not outside, I'm building with Lego, watching a Star Wars movie, or playing games with my kids on our PS5. :)
