I am a graduate of Concordia University-Portland, and a student at Regent University. I earned a master's degree in special education in 2016 and am pursuing a PhD in Special Education currently. Since earning my degree, I have spent the last 2 years working with children with Autism on academic and life skills. I also took the opportunity to earn a certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I work in a variety of subjects as a tutor but my passion is working with students with disabilities and learning challenges. I especially enjoy working on reading and grammar building blocks such as phonics and sentence construction. I am passionate about the benefits of education and making those benefits available to all students regardless of challenges and I try to make learning as engaging and entertaining as possible while still reaching goals. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children in nature, photography, watching sports, and crafts like sewing and knitting.
