At the heart of Bemidji Area Schools, my role as a Reading Interventionist intertwines my passion for literacy with my commitment to student confidence and success. With over a decade at Bemidji Schools and my recent certification as a Fastbridge Teacher Trainer, I leverage my Master's in Education to enrich reading programs with evidence-based interventions. The competencies I've honed, including CAREIALL, Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), trauma sensitive teaching, and cognitive psychology, fuel my drive to empower educators and students alike. My experience includes data driven decision making and collaborative efforts to increase proficiency in reading at every grade level. I am passionate about integrating social-emotional learning, cultural awareness, and encouraging family engagement, fostering a positive, nurturing and equitable educational climate.
