Welcome! 

After 35+ years in education, I’ve sat in nearly every seat in the system. I’ve tied shoelaces and sparked early literacy lightbulbs in first grade (still my absolute favorite grade!), mentored teachers in the hallways as a school-based academic coach, driven strategy behind the scenes as a district coordinator and now proudly serving educators as NW RESA Regional Literacy Coach. 

Along the way, I have earned multiple degrees and endorsements including an Ed.S. in Curriculum & Instruction, with an add on degree in Educational Leadership, and specialized in the area of Reading. 

When I’m not coaching, curriculum planning, or talking all things early literacy, you’ll find me soaking up quality time with my family—especially keeping up with my 5 wonderful grandkids!

Above all, my passion is simple: supporting the dedicated people doing the work. Now, I’m taking everything I’ve learned from the classroom to the district level and channeling it into my true passion—coaching and mentoring educators.

How I Can Support You

Teaching and educational leadership are deeply rewarding, but they can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Here is how we can work together:

• 📖 Literacy & Reading Instruction: Deepening your early literacy practices with evidence-based reading strategies that work in real classrooms.

• 💡 Instructional Coaching Support: Helping school-based coaches design impactful feedback cycles, build trust, and gain teacher buy-in.

I am very excited for the school year and our partnership.
