I have worked as a classroom teacher, a reading specialist, and as a private practice literacy instruction specialist. I thoroughly enjoy meeting students (of all ages), assessing comprehension, and mentoring them in their educational journey. In my current position at GVSU, I seek to teach the complexities of literacy by studying assessment practices and procedures useful in literacy instruction to all students in grades K-12.
