Welcome to My Story

I’m happily married to my husband, Adam, for over 26 years and we have two amazing daughters, Emily and Lauren as well as two dogs, Sophie and Waffles. I am deeply passionate about supporting students with learning needs in the educational sector, particularly those with ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, and Executive Functioning challenges.

My journey in education began with a Master's degree from Pepperdine University, followed by a decade of dedicated teaching in elementary schools. Over the last four years, I have been tutoring students from kindergarten to 8th grade, honing my skills and expanding my knowledge base. I am an Educational Therapist and am trained in the Orton Gillingham Literacy program.

Equipped with the ability to conduct curriculum-based assessments across all subjects for grades K-8, I communicate the student’s teachers and other allied professionals on a regular basis, and specialize in assisting students with executive functioning skills up to 12th grade. Proficient in all subjects within the K-8 spectrum, I work individually with students in a supportive and encouraging setting, providing supplementary materials to enhance their academic progress.

My primary goal is to offer alternative teaching methods that foster confidence, independence, resilience, and academic excellence in my students. By creating a positive and nurturing environment, I aim to empower them to excel in the classroom and beyond, paving the way for their success as confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals.
