Experienced Veteran Teacher

I have successfully taught in the elementary classroom for over 30 years including special needs and ESL. In addition, I have cared for many family members with special needs and have a lovely sister with Down Syndrome. I am compassionate, patient, and kind.
I think that every individual has the right to achieve his or her fullest potential. Individuals with special needs are not exempt from this, and may require extra support to be his or her best. I hope to inspire, educate, assist, and give hope to those who need specialized attention and education.
