PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY: I am an educator specializing in K-5 Elementary and Special Education, a seasoned copywriter, editor and proofreader. Teaching children to read and write with a personable, empathetic and driven approach is my central focus. I have been employed as a substitute teacher, edited books, articles, memos, emails and copy written a variety of print materials. Over the last three years, I managed and taught my own children, working with them in specific and specialized ways while pursuing my second master's degree.

I have learned so much about myself and how uniquely each child learns, not just through schooling, but from being a mother, teacher, editor and proofreader. I acquired and implemented specialized skills in the areas of differentiated instruction and confidence building. I taught children how to read, created curriculum, created hands on activities including games and crafts associated with stimulating learning lessons in all content areas. My interests are many as is my work experience varied. The salient theme throughout my life and work is the love of working with people, especially children and helping them meet their goals by utilizing creative tools and interventions. Cultivating a positive learning environment is vital to this process and I am committed. Strong aptitude in reading and writing are among the most important skills that move one toward success. I love being a participant in goal setting and achievement. In addition to my formal education, my experience as a mother of typical children and one with special needs enriches my life immeasurably. I consider myself someone with a unique blend of interests and experiences that offer multidisciplinary benefit.

I deeply studied our U.S Constitution for two years for my first master's degree in Government and am passionate about its contents and sovereignty. I am blessed and excited to be apprenticing under Francesca’s advocating for those whose rights are being violated under the Americans with Disabilities Act and am committed to ongoing advocacy training.
