Meet Our Instructors

I am a Certified Academic Language Practitioner trained to address the specific language needs of students with dyslexia. I grew up in Nashville and graduated from Tennessee Tech University with a B.S. in Special Education. After graduation, I taught in special education resource classrooms in Cumberland and Wilson counties for four years.

​

While at Tennessee Tech, I met my husband Jeff.  In 1994 we moved to Mt. Juliet and have been there ever since. We have three daughters who we homeschooled from preschool through high school.

​

Throughout our homeschool journey, I have taught students from kindergarten through high school in co-ops and tutorials. For ten years, I served as the coordinator for Legacy Family Academy, a homeschool co-op/tutorial which I founded with a few other families in Mt. Juliet.  

​

Since 2019, I have been in private practice serving students in struggle with reading, spelling, and writing. I especially enjoy watching students unlock the mystery of letters and words and discover the joy of  reading.  Contact me for more information or to schedule an informal screening.
