About Me

---

I love making a positive impact with my students who struggle with reading. Teaching with Evidence Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI), I can help children and adults become proficient in reading, writing, and spelling. 

I earned a Professional Certificate in Reading Instruction from the University of California San Diego. I attained a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential from the State of California. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree, with Honors, from San Jose State University. Prior to obtaining my teaching credential I tutored elementary school students who struggled with reading, and high school students who were learning English as a second language. And, as a life-long learner I explore every opportunity to keep current with literacy trends. 

I possess over 25 years of teaching experience as a Classroom Teacher, Reading Intervention Teacher, and Reading Specialist. I have taught in public schools, traditional and charter, and other learning environments like Sylvan Learning Center. I have been teaching on Zoom since 2020. I am proficient in whole class, small group, and one-on-one instruction to students K through 12th grade. The combination of my education and experience allows me to understand student needs and challenges, and address each student individually and effectively, providing necessary literacy support.
