I taught elementary aged Deaf children in the Boston Public Schools for 12 years; I am fluent in ASL and have also worked with hard of hearing students. I have a Master's in Education of the Deaf and am passionate about language in general (!) as I also speak French and Spanish. My undergraduate education focused on human development and psychology and I understand how and what ALL children need, regardless of 'ability'. I am patient, caring and have a good sense of humor. I also love animals and lift weights to stay strong and healthy. I have always advocated for families with children with special needs! My car is a 2020 Camry, I have a clean background and driving check and am COVID vaccinated and boosted.
