About Me

I am a college graduate of Bloomsburg University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, Special Education, and Middle School English Language Arts. In addition, I received my Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certification from a TEFL school in Santiago, Chile. Post graduation, I moved to Germany where I taught Grade One for one year and Learning Support for three years. I taught at the elementary and middle school level as I was the Learning Support coordinator for the whole school (Grades K-12). I really enjoy teaching math and reading/writing. I know how to make learning fun so my students really enjoyed coming to my one to one and small group lessons. Even the kids who didn't have learning disabilities wanted to come to my classroom! During my time in Germany I received my Orton Gillingham training as well as attended many conferences on differentiated instruction and inclusion in the classroom, and reading and writing workshops. I am also Numicon trained. I have lots of experience with teaching students one on one. I have taught in this setting in Germany as well as when we went online during the pandemic. After teaching in Germany, I moved to Spain and taught for two years at a bilingual high school. I taught in English alongside Spanish teachers in their subject area classes. I taught in the physical education, chemistry, technology, math, biology, and history classes. These were bilingual classes where I taught vocabulary and grammar in English while the teachers taught the content. I am now close to fluent in Spanish and I have a lot more knowledge about these subjects. When I am not teaching I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, lifting weights, drinking a cold brew and reading a good book!
