Summary

I believe all students can learn and for the last 20 years I have used my leadership skills, creativity, determination, knowledge of special education and interpersonal skills to develop programs to support neurodiverse students in 3 different Catholic schools for grades Pre-K to 12th grade. My ability to manage schedules, communicate ideas, gather resources, analyze data and foster teamwork have helped to achieve results and support students, teachers, and parents.
