As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Reading and a Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Saint Xavier University, I have over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and engage with the material. I am passionate about helping students discover their strengths and achieve academic success, which drives my commitment to personalized instruction tailored to each learner's needs. Currently teaching in Illinois, I continuously seek to inspire a love for learning in my students, making education both enjoyable and impactful.

I value staying active through trail walks with my dogs, expanding my knowledge through reading and travel, supporting my children’s growth, and fostering strong connections with family and friends.”
