Middle School Teacher and Professional Learning Partner Guide Reviewer (Multilingual Learner Badge)
I am a National Board Certified Teacher (Exceptional Needs Specialist) with a doctorate in Educational Leadership and a background in special education, psychology, and instructional coaching. I am currently a middle school special educator in Minnesota and work as an adjunct professor and coach, supporting educators across the country as well as being a reviewer for Rivet and EdReports. My work centers on inclusive, evidence-based practices—particularly the Science of Reading and designing rigorous, accessible instruction for all learners. I am passionate about developing educators and believe in high expectations supported by intentional, meaningful scaffolds.
