Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my family and our two dogs, gardening, reading and writing fiction, and listening to jazz.

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in my work!

 

Whether you are a teacher looking for support, a parent seeking guidance as your child navigates school and literacy development, or a scholar desiring intellectual synergy, I hope that this site provides you with resources and motivates you to reach out and discuss collaborating!

 

I'm looking forward to working with you!
