Literacy Support Team

I taught Kindergraten-2nd grade at Chimborazo Elementary for 8 years before transitioning to the role of Literacy Coach at Linwood Holton Elementary School. I received a M.T. from Virginia Commonwealth University and a M.Ed. from University of Virginia in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on reading. I'm an Orton Gillingham Classroom Educator and LETRS trained. I believe that skilled reading opens doors for opportunity and that all students have the right to receive code-based instruction that will set a strong foundation for literacy development.
