With over 19 years of experience as a reading teacher, I have dedicated my career to nurturing a lifelong love of reading in students of all ages and abilities. Literacy is the foundation of all learning, and my mission has always been to empower learners by building strong, confident readers. Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented research-based instructional strategies, differentiated my teaching to meet individual needs, and fostered inclusive classroom environments that celebrate every student's progress. My approach is rooted in patience, encouragement, and a deep understanding of literacy development. I am committed to helping students unlock their potential through the power of reading, and I continue to be inspired by the transformation that occurs when a student discovers the joy of books.
