I am passionate about supporting students in need of additional instruction or intervention. I enjoy supporting systems level change within schools to address needs through a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework. My particular interest and research background involves implementation of evidence-based math and reading interventions and supporting school staff to use data to guide decision making around interventions.

My professional background includes work as a special education teacher in Memphis, TN where I grew my passion for working with students with unique needs. Additionally, I was a teacher instructional coach before completing my graduate training in school psychology. Most recently, I was a school psychologist in Minneapolis where I supported evaluations for special services in addition to implementation of an MTSS framework in my school sites. Within this work, I primarily led my schools in using data to determine appropriate academic or social-emotional interventions aligned to student needs, training around evidence-based practices, and reviewing outcomes of progress monitoring data.
