With 27 years of teaching in Colorado, I have worn many hats as a K-8 classroom teacher, interventionist, literacy coach, staff-developer, and English Language Development teacher. I thought I had plenty of tools for all of my diverse learners. It wasn't until my daughter began to have difficulties reading, spelling, and writing that I really dove into the research to understand dyslexia. Thankfully, my Orton-Gillingham training, practicum, and certification through IMSE armed me with the knowledge and experience to give your struggling readers exactly what they need and deserve: explicit, individualized, structured literacy. I have found my passion and I can't wait to meet your child!
