Welcome to Basic Reading!  I am so thrilled to begin this journey with your student!  I began my teaching career after substituting part-time.  After working with the special education specialist, I developed a passion to work with exceptional students.  During this period, I left the business field and returned to pursue a Masters of Education degree to begin my career instructing students.  From my experience, I have seen my students make significant progress.  Every year, I have been challenged and blessed working with students that struggled with reading and writing in the past and later gain the confidence and ability to increase in knowledge and character. Once again, our goal this year is to grow in reading, writing, and being a leader in our generation.  With hard work and focus, we will reach our goals.  I look forward to collaborating with you, as it takes a team to raise leaders that will impact our world.  Feel free to reach me during my conference period from 3pm-4pm.
