I have worked in a variety of grade levels and educational settings. I began my career in education as a Sign Language Interpreter and then became a certified Special Education teacher. I have 12 years of experience in the classroom. During those years I worked with students with special needs in inclusion and resource settings. My primary focus was students with learning disabilities and behavior disorders. Although I have worked in many grade levels, the bulk of my experience has been with middle school students. In 2015, I took a position as a Behavior Intervention Specialist.
