I am a graduate of Seattle Pacific University with a major in Language Arts and a minor in Elementary Education. I taught for several years right out of college at a private school, but realized my true passion was in educational toys and manipulatives. I loved the hands-on approach to learning, as well as stimulating curiosity, imagination and creativity. Through the years, I've had wonderful experiences in owning my own toy stores, working with game inventors and manufacturers, demonstrating learning products in various settings such as conventions and homeschool summits, working in the schools as a para-educator in special needs classrooms, and more. During the Covid-19 crisis, I continue to work with children on a regular basis through Zoom Youth Group, Sunday School and other organizations that support special needs.

My preferences for tutoring are for Pre-K to 4th grades. I love Reading, Creative Writing, Penmanship and Small Motor Skills, Spelling, Language Arts, Grammar and Report Writing, Geography and History.
