Reading Teacher
Emily is a native Oregonian, born and raised in a small town outside of Salem, Oregon. She has lived in Tigard for the last 24 years with her husband and three children.
Emily earned her Bachelor’s degree in child development and a Master’s in Education from Western Oregon University. She went on to complete her reading specialist endorsement with a concentration in dyslexia identification and remediation at Eastern Oregon University. She continued her training in multi-sensory, explicit, systematic instruction through Orton-Gillingham Association and LETRS training. In past years, she has spent time working as a first-grade teacher in the Newberg School District and in the Tigard-Tualatin District. Most recently, she has been refining her skills around morphology instruction, completing training in Structured Word Inquiry and Yoshimoto Morphology training.
This year, Emily is taking on two roles at Park Academy as both a reading teacher and the Park Center Coordinator, helping to support all of our tutors in our tutoring program.
In her free time, you might find Emily spending time with her family, riding or hiking one of the many trails around the Portland area, or creating pieces of stained glass art.
Park Academy provides an inclusive community where evidence-based practices empower students with dyslexia and related learning differences to reach their highest academic and personal potential.
