​
Over the course of my career, I've discovered a passion for supporting students with dyslexia. I've attended specialized trainings that equips me with a skill set focused on the identification of dyslexia, as well as attending training on the Orton-Gillingham approach. This enables me to offer targeted and effective interventions. I constantly seek opportunities for further education, cherishing the process of learning and evolving.
As a mother of two, I've learned the art of balance—juggling the intricacies of my professional life while cherishing moments with my family. When I'm not engaged in the world of education, you might find me curled up with a good book, listening to Taylor Swift, or exploring Disneyland with my family and friends.
