Hello,
My students lovingly call me Ms. Natalie. I am privileged to work as a Special Education Classroom Assistant, also known as a Paraprofessional. My journey in the education field has spanned nearly ten years, with four of those years dedicated to volunteering. I’ve been in my current role for the past six years, which I find incredibly rewarding. Beyond my work, I am also a proud mother of three wonderful boys who are in their teenage years—ages 14, 12, and 10. Being a mom during this exciting time in their lives is a unique journey filled with joy and challenges, and I cherish every moment.
In the beginning, I found myself creating learning resources for my now ten-year-old son, who was nonverbal until he was around four. Understanding his unique needs and the urgency of learning in a way that worked for him, I felt compelled to do what I knew best. This journey became a heartfelt mission to support and help him flourish to the best of his abilities.
I have a deep passion for supporting and uplifting students, and I believe everyone deserves a nurturing learning environment where they can thrive.
