I have the Classroom Educator and Associate certifications through Orton Gillingham Academy. I have completed over 100 hours of training in the OG approach. I have taught over 1000 hours using the OG approach in the classroom and over 200 hours in a one on one setting with the approach which led me to receiving my certifications.

I majored in Multi-Categorical Special Education K-12 at Clemson University. Go Tigers! I completed my Masters of Reading with an elementary focus through Grand Canyon University. I have 16 years of experience in education! I am now out of the classroom and supporting curriculum content at Really Great Reading!

I am a single mom to my sweet daughter, Madelyne. She is my world and I love her so much! I would not be the person or teacher that I am without her. She is always by my side and my biggest cheerleader! I am also a type 1 diabetic and recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have not let that hinder me from following my dreams. If anything, it allows me to relate just a little bit to my students who struggle with grasping the concept of reading. If I am not teaching or spending time with my daughter, you can find us on a soccer field or basketball court! If we are not there, we might be behind our sewing machines or our Cameo 4s! We love creating together!
