Bio

2002 National Milken Education Award Winner. I am a retired teacher with over 30 years of experience. I have taught in the K-5 setting as general education teacher, gifted specialist, and Early Intervention teacher. I have a P-12 reading specialization and am Orton Gillingham trained. Tutoring for Braintrust allows me to continue doing what I love, making an impact in students' lives, even after retiring from the classroom!
