**UPDATE** As we navigate these new waters together, please do not hesitate to reach out to me for assistance with your child's assignments.  This is extended to all students, not just the ones that I serve for reading support.  Stay safe! To my students - I love you all and I can't wait to see you!

Welcome to my class page! I am a native of Great Falls and a proud graduate of Great Falls High School.  I later went on to receive my undergraduate degree from USC-Columbia and my Master's degree from Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ.  I have spent my entire teaching career here at Great Falls Elementary, teaching 2nd grade for 18 years, and serving as Reading Interventionist for the past seven years.  I have always been an avid reader and it is my  hope to instill that love of reading in my students. As Reading Interventionist, I desire to give my striving readers the tools needed to become a successful reader and, as a result, to TRULY love reading.
