One of my greatest passions is reading, and I take great pleasure in helping others learn to read using science-based methods.
My goal is to inspire my students to embrace analytical challenges, offer unwavering support during their most challenging moments, and encourage them to step outside of their comfort zones and experience new things.
When I’m not in a classroom, I can usually be found curled up on a sofa reading a book or graphic novel, watching a Marvel movie, or playing RPGs!
