I volunteered to teach reading for years and received my ESL tutoring certificate. After graduation, I started tutoring K-2 students during the COVID-19 pandemic in reading and math and hosted a pod classroom for students K-5. While I tutor both Reading/Writing and Math K-5, I am most passionate about teaching reading in grades K-2. I love the little ones' confidence grows so quickly when learning to read and write. In my experience helping struggling students catch up on their reading skills, I have helped students go from crying at the thought of writing half a sentence to writing many sentences in one sitting, and those experiences help me continue helping other students.

In my spare time, I enjoy teaching people modern floral embroidery with my patterns for beginners. It's like coloring but way more satisfying! If I'm not embroidering, I love spending time with my dog, Kylie! I'm currently teaching her to walk off leash and how to "park it" on her mat. We love to go on long walks and play lots of fetch!
