As an educator, I taught in Utah schools for 2 years as a resource teacher helping students with their IEP goals. After teaching in a formal public school setting, I transitioned to teaching primarily in the home for the next 20 years. During these years a love of learning was shared with many preschoolers; as owner and operator of a private preschool was able to help and encourage young students to develop emotionally, socially and academically according to their individual needs. More recently, I have enjoyed substitute teaching in California for two years before taking a full time teaching position as an ISP Learning Center teacher for students k-5 with moderate to severe learning disabilities. I have substitute taught in various environments including SDC and ISP grades PreK-8.
