I am your Reading Recovery Coordinator at Wood View Elementary. I work with students and teachers in grades kindergarten, first and 2^nd.  I have the opportunity to provide individualized lessons, small group intervention and /or classroom support. I provide professional development for grades K-5 and support teachers in the area of literacy.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University, and I earned my Master’s degree in the area of literacy through   Benedictine University, most recently I completed my ESL endorsement. Currently I am obtaining my Reading Recovery Training through National Louis University.  In the past I have taught fourth grade.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and son. I am excited by all things "literacy" and am an avid reader.  It is my hope to help promote and foster a lifelong love for reading, and share my enthusiasm for literacy with the students and families here at Wood View Elementary.
