She works on literacy strategies, both reading and writing intervention, for her students. Prior to this, she was a learning specialist at a school in New York City. Through this position she consulted with teachers to differentiate instruction, create fair assessment for all learners and ensured that the curriculum met the needs of both general and special education students. Prior to this she was a Resource Room Coordinator and fourth grade teacher at a small private school. As Resource Room Coordinator, she observed other teachers and assisted them in differentiating instruction, and implemented a supplemental literacy program for struggling readers.
