Fun Facts

For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed camping by a lake with my family. To this day I still enjoy some of the same traditions. Family has always been a huge part of my life and during the summer months you can usually find us out on the lake enjoying a variety of water sports such as wakebording and water skiing. We have even started teaching my 3 year old niece how to water ski. I also enjoy capturing my friends, family, and nature on camera.

About Me

I graduated from portland-state-university">Portland State University 3 years ago with my masters in education. I am a licensed elementary teacher but I have decided to take a slightly different path by working as a education/oregon/portland">special education assistant in a middle school. Someday I plan on getting back into an elementary school classroom where my passion for teaching really shows.

Due to my work in education/oregon/portland">special education I have a lot of experience working one-on-one with students that are struggling in areas such as reading, writing, and math. I have tutored students with abilities ranging from non-readers and writers to some just needing a little extra help with science or algebra. Most of my experience is working with elementary and middle school students.

I believe that creating a comfortable and fun environment is crucial to successful learning. I strive to create lessons that are engaging and entertaining while still focusing on the material. I understand that every student has a unique way of learning which is why I spend time getting to know each of them in order to create lessons that are best suited to their learning style. My top priority is always the success of the student.
