I value active engagement, using visual supports, scaffolding, and authentic texts to make learning meaningful and accessible for all students. I hold a Doctorate in Literacy Education from Sam Houston State University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in literacy theory, research, and practice. This advanced study not only informs my teaching but also drives my passion for mentoring educators and fostering a love of reading in every classroom I serve.

I love reading, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
