I have been in education for 22 years. Starting off my career in a before and after school program planning and organizing large groups of students with activities and school work. This experience led to me becoming a para professional in the classroom at the kindergarten level, from there I became a special needs para for moderate a severe needs. After completing my teaching degree I became a 4th grade teacher. At this time I also completed my master program in special education. I have taught third through fifth over 13 years. During this time I have also tutored English as well as academic areas from preschool to high school. I am always learning and looking for opportunities to be the best teacher for every student.
