Hobbies

I love anything outdoors in Austin! You will usually find me along with my two children hiking, swimming, or just enjoying the parks around Austin. I am a certified reading specialist, present nationally on reading topics for other teachers, and have extensive experience working with elementary age struggling and dyslexic readers. I believe that every child can become a confident successful reader with the right support. I would love to help your son and daughter gain that confidence.
