I hold a Master's degree in Reading Specialist from the University of Sioux Falls and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have over 12 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom teaching. My expertise lies in the Kindergarten through 5th grade levels, where I strive to create a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and academic success. I believe in tailoring my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring they feel empowered to reach their full potential. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two young children, my labrador retriever puppy, attending sporting events, and the outdoors.
