I received my undergraduate degree from Cal State, Northridge and my teaching certification from the University of Rhode Island in elementary education. I am certified in the Orton-Gillingham method and have tutored many students of all ages both privately, and for several RI school systems for over 20 years. I enjoy working with all ages, including adults and am adept at modifying and individualizing lessons to address my students' issues and learning styles.

My interests and hobbies include traveling, photography, and running. I have been running for over 30 years and have completed the Boston Marathon.
