I am a teacher by day and a mother 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to my two daughters. I am a Disneyland enthusiast. I come from a lineage of educators. I enjoy watching football, reading and watching documentaries. I am an advocate for children and adults with special needs. I have participated in events, volunteered, donated and raised funds for programs that offer social, recreational and educational services for the special needs population. Raising awareness for children and adults with special needs is my passion and mission in life.
