I am a graduate of Life University. I obtained my degrees in Theology and Education. I also have a Child Development Associate degree. I have worked in Special Education, in classrooms, churches in Children's Ministry with 160 children and 90 leaders. I have also done home education of 2 A.D.D. children; worked preschool and online teaching ESL in other countries and Texas A&M. I am passionate about teaching children to read and having a strong reading foundation. I love teaching and have been teaching for over 34 years. In my experience when a child is taught to read well, they open the world to themselves and others. My family and I love to travel and have traveled extensively for many years. My goal this winter is to learn how to fish on the beach and how to crab and shrimp. I am passionate about reading but learning is not always for pleasure.
