I began my tutoring career in 2010 as a tutor for adjudicated youth in Clarinda, Iowa. I was trained in the Corrective Reading and Corrective Math programs, which I still use today as my foundational materials.​

During that time I began private tutoring with public school students and adults. Over the next 11 years, I started my own business, tutoring children in the community. I also spent two of those years in Creston, Iowa at The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa as a Teacher Supervisor and tutor. In 2021 I moved to Omaha, Nebraska to pursue full-time tutoring. I have operated Piece of the Puzzle Tutoring Service, LLC since that time. I offer one-to-one learning services throughout the school year as well as an 8-week summer session. 

​​​​My hobbies are bicycling, kayaking, reading, gardening, and spending time with my children and grandchildren. My Christian faith is the basis for my life and work.

My Philosophy on Learning

​Everyone learns at their own pace, therefore, you do not sign a contract for a set number of sessions. Students work for the amount of time it takes to achieve their learning goals.

I believe every person is capable of learning. I aim to find the best way to teach each student in the most meaningful and efficient way possible using the “I Do - We Do - You Do” learning method.

Nothing fancy. Just simple and effective.
