Affiliations

For years I was a stay at home mom of five beautiful children from the year 2012-2024. Once my youngest daughter was well established in school I could get a job where it made sense. I love learning new things and achieving new things. I am always looking to better myself and my education.

I grew up with a brother that is diagnosed with Asperger's. My son shows many signs of autism but does not show enough that he is labeled autistic. My oldest son has been diagnosed with ODD, ADHD, and mood disorder. While these things are challenging I enjoy working with my kids to see what I can do to help kids succeed.
