“I have always enjoyed working with people, especially children.
My passion for handwriting came when one of my boys had problems with handwriting in Kindergarten. I realized that there was  just no time in the school day or curriculum to help him.  This is when I decided to use my teaching skills and become a certified specialist in Handwriting Without Tears.   I was able to help all my sons with their handwriting (including cursive writing). Now I enjoy helping other kids as well. It's amazing how sometimes just a little one on one time can make all the difference in having a child develop good habits, write neatly and enjoy it!
I hope to continue to work individually or with small groups of kids to share my knowledge and watch them succeed.”
