Teaching & Learning / Special Education / Literacy / Program Evaluation

I am a PhD student studying Special Education at the University of Northern Colorado. I have fulfilled my coursework requirements and look forward to completing my examinations and dissertation in the coming months.

I have taught K-6 students as a general education teacher, special education teacher, and ELL instructor, and I enjoy leveraging this experience to design meaningful instruction for preservice and inservice teachers. My primary areas of research are foundational reading instruction, teacher professional development, and special education in multilingual settings.
