Summary

As a teacher I am adept at delivering meaningful learning experiences with knowledge in special education strategies and individualized program development. Currently as a stay at home parent and part-time Special Education Consultant, I'm lucky to have time with my son while still able to keep a foot in the educational pool. Now looking for full-time opportunities, I'm eager to get back into a career where I can continue to help people.
