As a dedicated educator enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instructional Design, I am passionate about fostering a love for reading among students. With over 20 years of experience tutoring and teaching reading, I have had the privilege of working with diverse learners, helping them achieve and surpass grade-level proficiency. My approach centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages students to explore literature and develop critical reading skills. I firmly believe that literacy is foundational to academic success and overall quality of life, and I am committed to empowering each student on their educational journey.

My hobbies include reading, writing, drawing, painting, floral design, jewelry making, and decorating in my spare time.
