Professional Journey and Expertise
Zoe's journey into education began unexpectedly after college, when a chance attendance at a hiring fair led to a full-time teaching position in the D.C. area. What started as a detour from potential political aspirations quickly became her calling. She earned her Master’s degree while working full-time, completed a yearlong TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course at the University of Maryland, and immersed herself in diverse roles within DC Public Schools (DCPS) and Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS).
Over her career, Zoe has served as a classroom teacher, English Learner (EL) teacher, reading and math interventionist, instructional coach, and even teacher-community schools coordinator. These experiences gave her deep insights into the foundational reading gaps many students face, inspiring her to launch The Reading Elevation Blueprint—a virtual learning center that delivers personalized, structured literacy instruction rooted in the science of reading.
The Reading Elevation Blueprint stands out for its 12-week mastery program, which helps children excel academically by building strong phonemic awareness, decoding skills, vocabulary, and comprehension strategies. Zoe's methods are tailored for elementary reading tutoring, supporting students who may be behind grade level or simply ready to accelerate. Parents rave about the program's ability to boost confidence and turn reluctant readers into enthusiastic learners.
Zoe's expertise extends to supporting diverse learners, drawing from her background in EL instruction and intervention. She emphasizes joyful, engaging sessions that make reading elevation achievable and fun, all delivered through convenient online classes.
Commitment to Literacy and Community
Living in Washington, D.C., with her husband, puppy Henni, and cat Jojo, Zoe is deeply committed to improving literacy outcomes for all children. Her work through The Reading Elevation Blueprint reflects a belief that every child deserves access to high-quality reading instruction that unlocks academic success and lifelong opportunities.
As part of her mission, Zoe collaborates with families, schools, and communities to promote evidence-based practices. Whether addressing early reading difficulties or enhancing skills for advanced students, her virtual program provides flexible, impactful support without geographic limitations.
