Summary
I have worked at the Carl Junction Satellite School, located on the campus of the Turnaround Ranch, for over 31 years. I retired in May; however, at this time in my life, I want to work part-time. I am a Special Education Teacher well-versed in crisis management and establishing direct, clear, and helpful boundaries with students of varying emotional and intellectual capacities.
