I graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a degree in Elementary Education and a concentration in Early Childhood. I have taught for 7 years in a first grade classroom. Although I loved first grade, I was selected to become a Dyslexic Specialist. I have helped dyslexic students learn to read for the last 7 years, using Nyhaus and Reading By Design materials. I believe all students have the ability to learn and be successful.
