Additional biographical information

In second grade it was discovered that I have a Learning Disability. At that time, they did not know a lot about the exceptionality. They informed my parents that I would most likely not graduate High School. With determination, hard work, and perseverance from my parents and within, I did graduate and went to The University of Central Florida under disabilities. After completing my B.S. degree in Learning Disabilities K-12, I went to Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. There I received my M.S. degree in Deaf Education. I later went a step further and completed my doctoral degree in Education with an emphasis in Special Education Curriculum and Development. I can offer personal experience and the “yes you can” attitude of completion of college and future success.
