• I've been a private special education teacher and one-on-one instructor since 2014.

• Prior to and while earning my Master of Education in 2012, I worked and volunteered in special education classrooms in several schools (public, private, and charter) for over 10 years. 

• I hold a Standard Professional Cross-Categorical Special Education K-12 certificate, which means I am trained to teach multiple children with a spectrum of individual needs and challenges, and I have held a Structured English Immersion Endorsement, K-12, which means I was trained to teach children whose first language was not English.

​

• I have attended the Landmark Summer Institute for Educators several times and received additional training in dyslexia, writing, math, and phonics.

• I have also received training in Phonemic Awareness, Metacognition in the Writing Process, Expository Expression, Language-Based Learning Disabilities, and Strategies to Support Students with Social Skill Challenges.

​

• I am certified by the International Dyslexia Association as a Structured Literacy Classroom Teacher and in the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading by The Center for Effective Reading Instruction.

​

• I am registered with the Center for Effective Reading Instruction as a Structured Literacy Classroom Teacher, which you can see here and here.
