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. My passion and expertise lie in helping young learners become 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 also a proud member of both the Palmetto State Literacy Association and the Greenville County Literacy Association, where I continue to grow professionally and stay connected to best practices in literacy instruction.
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.
Cory Fortune is my spouse, and we have been happily married for 18 years. Our wedding took place in Montego Bay, Jamaica. We are blessed with two wonderful children, Layla and Liliana. Layla is currently in 10th grade, while Liliana is in 6th grade. Our family also includes two adorable dogs named Ollie and Gus Gus. The girls absolutely adore them, and we spoil them rotten!
