M.Ed. in Reading

Laura earned her undergrad degree in education and German from the University of Richmond and taught high school German in the public school system. During that time, she also completed her Master’s degree in Education as a Reading Specialist at VCU and gained experience working as a reading tutor, supporting students with a wide range of learning needs. Laura has homeschooled her two children since kindergarten, and as a family they love to travel, explore the outdoors, and learn together beyond the classroom. She is grateful for the opportunity to teach at Bridge and to partner with families in nurturing a love of learning.
