About Me
I am a master teacher with 27+ years in the field of education, and a certified Educator in Elementary Education in the State of NH.
​
My specialities include teaching reading and writing literacy, as well as foundational math skills. Helping students become confident learners who strive to reach their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning is my passion.
​
Teaching the whole child, and meeting the developmental and individual needs of my students, is of utmost importance to me.
While using direct, explicit, systematic instruction, my lessons include a variety of interactive, multi-sensory approaches to motivate students and make learning fun and engaging.
​
If your child is struggling with academic work, needs assistance developing executive functioning skills such as task initiation and organization, or in need of enrichment opportunities to strengthen academic abilities, I am here to help.
​
I look forward to meeting your child, and assessing your learner's strengths and areas of need, in order to create a personalized plan for short & long term learning goals.

*Literacy Lab Mentor, South Londonderry Elementary School
​
*Before beginning For the Love of Learning, my role as a classroom teacher at South School in Londonderry, NH included being a literacy mentor for first through fifth grade teachers and staff. We developed a Literacy Lab model and facilitated school-wide, job-embedded professional development opportunities for all staff. These coaching lab sessions included grade-level team meetings and observations of lessons in the classroom.
​
Our Literacy Lab focused on reflection & goal setting within current literacy instruction across all grade levels, two summer workshop sessions for assistance in classroom & material set-up, and multiple-day Literacy Lab mentoring sessions for all grade level teams throughout the 2018-2019 school year.
​
If you would like more information on how I can work with your staff, please reach out. I'd love to help grow your literacy program.
