As a public school teacher for 11 years, I am passionate about helping students reach their fullest potential. I love watching students grow and become confident, lifelong learners! I was a reading interventionist for 2 years in an elementary school for students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. I then taught 5th grade for 8 years before I was moved to teach 2nd and 3rd grade. Aside from teaching daily in my classroom, I also offer tutoring after school to all students in my school. I love meeting students where they are and helping them go beyond what they think they can do! I attended a small, private institute called St. Catharine College for my bachelors of science in elementary education. I attended the University of the Cumberlands for my masters degree in school counseling. I have taught and tutored all grade levels from kindergarten to 5th grade in all subjects. I am a positive, loving, and caring person with an upbeat attitude for teaching!
