Summary
For a new graduate I am uniquely qualified for a role as a Special Education teacher. I am not only endorsed in Strat 1 and 2 but also have extensive field experience through out my four years in college. In addition to my field experience I worked for over a year with participants that have severe and profound disabilities. My passion for advocating for students of all levels is what drives me to want a long term career in Special Education.
