I am a graduate of The University of Toledo, where I received my Bachelor and Master's degree in Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction. Since obtaining those degrees, I have continued my love for education by working with students in Higher Education as a College Admissions Director before returning to various roles in Elementary School and to the Elementary Classroom. I am most passionate about Reading and Writing. I have always had a love for these subjects since I was a child, and that passion has carried over into my life as a teacher and in my classroom. I love using books to enhance a student's experiences in the classroom and in the tutoring environment and making connections to their everyday lives. I have seen tremendous growth in my students academically throughout the years and ultimately growth in skills and self-confidence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, DIY projects, exercise, traveling, and spending time with my family.

I love to read, travel, watch HGTV and learn how to do and work on new DIY projects. I love spending time with my family, journaling about experiences in my life, and I love to exercise!
