About
I am a certified elementary educator and FGCU graduate with a degree in Elementary Education, a 3.5 GPA, and endorsements in Reading and ESOL. I spent four years teaching in a low-income school, where I developed a strong passion for helping children build literacy skills and confidence. I am now pursuing my Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Reading Education at FGCU. As a mother of two young children, I am committed to continuing my education while building a future that allows me to support young learners through literacy instruction and small-group tutoring.
