Much of my experience has been in working with students who have Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. I also have spent a great deal of time working with students who have Emotional Behavioral Disabilities. Most of my years in the classroom have been in a self-contained or pull-out setting. I now work as a co-teacher in an ELA classroom. I teach as an adjunct professor at Augusta University, too. In addition to special education certification, I also hold certification in general education content areas, educational administration, and as a reading specialist. I am a Google Level 1 and Level 2 Certified Educator, an Apple Teacher, and a Google Trainer.

Additional biographical information
I am dedicated to finding better ways for material to be presented to students, resources for making it easier for a teacher to do his or her job, and studying about social justice issues. Even though I have completed my terminal degree, I will never stop learning. I love my students, my colleagues, and the college students I teach, and I believe there is much to learn from all of them.
