Experienced educator with 9 years experience as a mod-severe special ed teacher. Before getting my credential, I was a nanny and preschool teacher who worked specifically with children with special needs. I create a safe, creative and joyful environment for kids of all ages and abilities to grow, explore and learn. I also have a background in opera and love to incorporate music whenever possible! On a personal note, I am often described me as empathic, goofy and compassionate. I am a baking nerd and make a great chocolate chip cookie. I am often at Knott's Berry Farms or the beach with my family. I've worked with families, students and youth from a wide range of cultures, backgrounds and abilities. I'm here to be your partner and respect the home you're creating for your family. LGBTQ+ Friendly
