Currently, I am the Reading Specialist at Queen Anne's County High School.  I have been the specialist for ten years.  My goal as the reading specialist is to improve a student's word attack, comprehension, and/or fluency skills. I am certified in several reading interventions: Corrective Reading,  Lindamood Bell (LiPS), Wilson Reading Program,  Read Live, Read 180, SOAR, and Stevenson.  Also, I teach English I and English II.

 

For the first 19 years of teaching, I worked with special education students ranging from learning disabilities to intellectual disabilities in Anne Arundel County Schools.  Before coming to Queen Anne's, I taught at Stevensville Middle School for six years as a special educator.  I also was the Individual Education Plan (IEP) Coordinator.  

 

Personally, I am married, and I have two grown daughters.   I also have a chocolate Labrador named Paisley.   I live on Kent Island.
