Bio

I'm a Michigan State University alumna with dual degrees in English Literature/Literacy and Social/Public Policy. I am pursuing my Master of Education in Early Childhood Curriculum & Instruction. Throughout my duration, at MSU, I was involved with tutoring programs for Lansing Public Schools, specifically South Lansing. I have been blessed these past 2 to 3 years; I have made a home in Elementary classrooms within Oakland and Wayne counties as a substitute, assistant/lead teacher, and reading interventionist. 
​​
In 2019 Read All About It was launched as a literacy program. In a short time, the company has become so much more! Read All About It offers programs targeting language arts, math, and history. My personalized lesson plans have contributed tremendously to developing positive relations with families, boosting student confidence, improve test-taking skills, which have helped students reach or exceed grade-level material.
