I earned an Associate of Arts degree in Secretarial Science and Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with an Endorsement in Special Education from Midland Lutheran College. Later I earned a Master’s degree from Wayne State College and have taken 45 hours beyond the Master’s degree in Elementary Education. I have taught in the public school system for 25 years. I started teaching part-time at the Sylvan in 2004 and was thoroughly impressed with their program.

Reading, Math, Writing, Beginning Reading, ACT Prep, Study Skills - Instructor

I went to Wayne State College where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education in December of 2004. I was hired by Papillion La Vista and am currently teaching second grade. I enjoy teaching at Sylvan and watching children learn and gain self-confidence. Each child learns in a specific way and that’s what so cool about Sylvan; we find that way and teach to the child’s specific learning style! I enjoy reading, traveling and being with my friends and family.
