My Mission
Helping children become confident, capable, and joyful learners is my passion. I have over 36 years of professional experience as a teacher, trainer, and researcher. Studies show that supporting strong literacy development through research-based intervention is key to school success. I help parents and teachers best support children in this journey.
My Services
Services For Parents
It is so important to know if your child is reading and writing at grade-level. I have decades of experience assessing children’s literacy skills. I can also provide one-on-one literacy instruction customized to your child’s needs. In addition, I can provide advice and help you advocate for your child’s needs when in school.

Services For Schools and Teachers
I have extensive experience helping schools improve literacy outcomes for ALL students by improving literacy instruction and strengthening multi-tiered systems of support, including enrichment and intervention services. I can also provide individual coaching for teachers to help differentiate instruction, improve literacy instruction, and increase classroom management skills. As a children’s author, I love to visit schools, in-person or online, to share my book and get children excited about writing!
