Experience
Instilling a love of learning is my life's calling. I've worked with students ranging from tiny tots to seniors, and my goal always revolves around each student leaving my care with an understanding of how learning shapes their lives. I know this first hand, and believe this knowledge proves paramount for overall happiness and classroom success.I graduated from Chaminade with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in School Counseling. At Boston University, I earned a Bachelor of Art in Psychology, and also minored in French Language and Literature. I've worked with the Boston University Initiative for Literacy Development (BUILD), done test training, and worked with the Hawaii International Dyslexia Association. Multisensory methods help me reach numerous learners. A few of the methods I use include Orton-Gillingham and visualizing. Word play is another vital tool. I love to work with many different subjects, but my favorites are English, literature, phonemic awareness, and reading comp. These subjects involve the use of critical thinking and imagination, which in turn help build self reliance for students.Reading and a soothing ocean view help me unwind, keeping me entertained and focused. I also enjoy doing yoga and taking hikes in any gorgeous setting.
