ABOUT ME

​​​

After several years as an elementary/special ed. teacher in traditional schools, I homeschooled my own children through 8th grade, an experience that brought both joy and a passion for individualized education. During that time, I also worked as a teacher and curriculum librarian for two homeschool enrichment programs in the Longmont area.  It was through one of these programs that I found the Barton Reading & Spelling System, and began using it with my first student. 

​

I went on to complete an intensive Orton-Gillingham certification program so I could more effectively reach more students who were struggling with literacy.  I have also completed coursework that qualifies me to conduct independent dyslexia evaluations for students of all ages.

​

I wholeheartedly believe in the words of educator George Evans:
“Every child can learn—just not on the same day, or in the same way.”

​

Helping each learner find their way is not only my mission—it’s the most fulfilling part of what I do.
