About the store
I am passionate and enthusiastic about helping every student succeed.
My experience began outside of the classroom as a supported independent living specialist, helping adults with disabilities to be able to live as independently as possible. I later worked as a behavior support professional, as a job developer/transition specialist for the 18-22 year old special ed program at my district.
Five years ago, I became a high school life skills teacher, and two years ago, my husband, two kids, and I moved to Kentucky where I became an elementary MSD (moderate/severe disabilities) teacher.
I absolutely love my job and all of my students! :)
