I obtained a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2002 and an Educational Technology master’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado in 2010. I spent over 20 years in the upper elementary classroom and specialized in teaching language arts for 10 years. I also have ten years of private tutoring experience and have tutored online since 2020.

I work with students from ages 8-13 (upper elementary to middle school skill level).
