Welcome to

I've had many teaching experiences throughout the years, teaching preschool, kindergarten, first, third, and sixth grades in area parochial schools. I also was the Director of Kessel Kids day care for a time. I received my Reading Endorsement from Upper Iowa University. In 2010, I began training in Reading Recovery, funded by an i3 (Investing in Innovations) grant, offered through the University of Northern Iowa, with classes held at Keystone AEA. I continue to receive ongoing professional development with Reading Recovery, meeting 6 times a year. During one of those sessions, I teach a student "Behind-the-glass". I have been teaching youngsters to read and write in the Howard-Winneshiek Community School District since the fall of 1998.
