Special Educator

I have a Masters in Special Education and a passion for working with people with people with special needs. I am a very compassionate person with a lot of patience and a smile on my face.
I'm currently a Montessori teacher in Charlottesville and have previously taught second grade for Waynesboro City Schools. My daughter will be attending Stump, and my plan is to pick her up from school at 3 along with any other kiddos who may need after school care.
I'd describe my personality as fun, approachable, and positive. I enjoy caring for people and treat individuals with care and respect. Every child deserves to be loved. Can discuss availability options.
