Hello! I have been a general education teacher for seven years and have taught kindergarten, preschool, and first grade. I have also subbed in all elementary grades. Currently, I am an ESS Provider (Exceptional Student Services) at a Charter School. I work with mostly middle school students. I love to spend time with my husband and two daughters and two dogs. I love to read, go to the gym, sketch and play tennis. I am looking forward to helping students gain confidence and move ahead with their studies!
