Reading.  Educating.  Laughing.  It's all in a days work as a reading specialist.  This is my 14th year teaching, and my 7th year at Village Meadows as a reading specialist.  Prior to joining the Village I taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade in both California and Arizona.  I even taught preschool for 3 years prior to that.  I graduated from Cal State East Bay in 2008 with my BA in Liberal Studies and my Elementary Teaching Certificate.  Then in 2015 I graduated from GCU with my Masters in Reading Instruction.  I have been married for 10 years to my husband, Tim.  We have two children together, James (6) and Juliana (3).  We love having family fun days and keeping busy. Whether it be exploring a new park, reading books at the library, running around in an indoor playground, or exploring Arizona with a fun staycation; we love family fun days!

If your child will have the opportunity to work with me, or another reading teacher, this year in the reading room you will be notified with a parent signature page. I look forward to all the K-3rd grade readers I will support this year. I hope your child gains a life long LOVE for reading through literacy experiences in their classroom, reading room, library, and in their every day life.
