My philosophy of education changes and grows each year. I continue to learn the importance of caring and fostering relationships.

This will be my 13th year as a Special Education professional. I have taught in small language based Quaker schools, Approved Private schools and now a public high school.  I graduated from Holy Family with a dual certification in  Elementary and Special Education continued from there and took the E.L.L courses in the graduate program but never finished. I am Wilson and Orton Gillingham trained. I am a mindfulness teacher who incorporates that practice in my day to day living as well.

My goals for this academic and teaching year are to build upon existing skills and connect newly learned information to support both students and parents. I want to strive to do my best in my course work in addition to the classroom while balancing life's responsibilities.
