New London, Connecticut

I am a structured literacy educator with over twenty years of experience in education. I earned my B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and my Master of Arts in Teaching from the School for International Training. I have worked at schools in New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. I have taught in public and private schools and worked with students in grades K-12 as well as higher education.

I am trained in Connections: OGin3D®, an Orton‑Gillingham–based approach grounded in research on how the brain learns to read. It is intended for use with small groups or individual students, including those with reading difficulties or dyslexia.
