After teaching general education, I realized that I needed more skills in order to reach the SPED students in my class. After I earned my SPED credentials, I taught in elementary and middle school as a general ed teacher and elementary, middle, and high school as both a resource specialist with rotating students as well as in self contained classes. Not having necessary instructional materials necessitated me creating my own materials. I am proud to share these materials with you.
I am flexible and strive to work with each student where he or she is at academically. Being where my student is academically at any given moment is key. If a student doesn't understand my instruction, it is up to me to change my instructional style to meet my student's needs. I work to bring each students' culture into my class. My class is a welcoming place for all where everyone feels safe.

After corporate burnout as an accountant, I returned to university and earned my Master of Science in Special Education as well as a general education and special education teaching credentials.
My passion is watching anything grow and develop, whether my students, my flower gardens, or my three French Bulldogs.
