Teaching reading intervention for kindergarten through third grade brings me great joy and purpose. With 23 years of experience in education, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood and a Master’s Degree in Language and Literacy. I am passionate about helping young learners grow into confident, successful readers.

I am honored to be the recipient of the national Winslow Coyne Award for Literacy, which recognizes outstanding contributions to literacy education.

I am a proud member of the Palmetto State Literacy Association, the Greenville County Literacy Association, and The Reading League of South Carolina, where I continue to learn, grow, and stay connected to evidence-based literacy practices.

In addition, I am a Certified Literacy Coach, a Google Certified Educator, a Seesaw Pioneer, and I hold the Read to Succeed Reading Endorsement from the South Carolina Department of Education.

Above all, I believe every child can learn to read with the right support, encouragement, and instruction—and I am committed to partnering with families to help each student reach their fullest potential.
