Five things about me:

1. I am a strong supporter and advocate of children with differing abilities.

2. I have two adult children who went to Clarkston Schools. GO WOLVES!!!!

3. I teach Toddler Playtime classes with Mrs. G.

What I love most about my profession:

I love that every day is a new and different adventure. I get to teach classes, go on home visits, do evaluations and PLAY PLAY PLAY!

Working in early intervention is so rewarding. I get to work closely with families and I have the opportunity to see amazing growth in a short period of time. There is nothing more special than seeing a student several years later doing well and knowing that I had a part in their educational career at a young age.
