Ms. Tucker is the LPELL Co-founder and has incorporated many professional and life skills in her philosophy of education. She has been a preschool teacher, and an elementary, and middle school educator for over 19 years. She believes in developing “Life-long Learners” in her students. With a BA in Elementary Education from Madonna University, Ms. Tucker has been certified in All Subjects K-8; English, Early Childhood, Social Studies, and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. She completed her work toward her Master’s degree through Liberty University in Pastoral Counseling and Christian Education.

IEPs’ and 504's are my passion and I love being able to work closely with my parents and students to find the best course of action to push them forward in their education. This position allows me to be creative and think outside the box. Which is exactly what some of us need. The freedom to “throw out the book” and do something different is what it’s all about.
