I grew up in Nelson County and have taught in its various schools for over 40 years as either a kindergarten, first, or fourth grade teacher, a Reading Specialist, and now a part-time PALS tutor. I love this county and the students.

I graduated from Radford College in Early Childhood Education and later, received my masters degree in Reading Education from the University of Virginia.

I love to read and spend time checking out books from the county library to read to my grandchildren ... and some for myself. My mission is for them to be great readers and to experience the joy of books and all they can teach.

Teaching reading has always been my passion in the classroom so nothing delights me more than helping students who struggle with the reading process. I look forward to working with your children!
