I have 20+ years of experience as a pre school autism teacher and an instructional assistant across multiple elementary schools here in Fairfax County and internationally. My educational back ground is in early childhood education [M. Ed] as well as agricultural economics [BAgAc]. I have had the pleasure of caring for and working with many different children from different backgrounds in my professional career. Additionally I have high experience working with special needs children. I am also a mother of four, oldest is active military two at GMU and UVA youngest is a junior high . I'm hoping to put my skills to use and continue helping out children/parents.
