About
I am an advocate for teachers and a lover of literacy. I share a passion for exploring reading and writing through children's and young adult literature with my students who are teacher candidates and in-service teachers. I am dedicated to the profession by teaching, engaging in professional development, leading professional organizations, and presenting and writing about my research. My current research interests are related to the literacy lives of pre-service and in-service teachers, early literacy teaching and learning strategies and practices, and reading comprehension.
