After living in Maine for many years, I recently relocated to Florida to be near family and enjoy the warm sunshine. Teaching has always been close to my heart. When my boys were very young I was a tutor for adults struggling with reading and then decided to teach full time. I taught 3rd through 7th grade and especially love teaching reading and science. I have also worked for Scholastic as a reading consultant and have been a private tutor for many years. I currently work as a trainer for a software company and find that I miss the interaction with students.

I earned by bachelor's degree from Syracuse University and a Master of Literacy from the University of Southern Maine.

I believe that no matter what employment opportunities present themselves to me, I will always find a way to work with students. Currently, I look forward to my tutoring sessions every week despite working a full time job. It is a highlight of me week.
