Class overview
In this classroom we create an effective climate for learning by sharing all available information about a child's disability pertinent to the child's performance in an educational setting. We facilitate each student's academic progress and social development by establishing appropriate goals and providing instruction. We also encourage students to be aware of their strengths and weaknesses so that they can become good advocates for themselves in all settings.
About me
Hello
I am so excited to be your ESS teacher. It's going to be a great year full of new friends, new adventures, and new discoveries. This will be my first year teaching at Park Forest Middle. Let's make this an incredible year!
I've been with EBR School System since 1998
I was a former Para at Dufrocq Elementary.
I graduated from Central High School in 1992.
I graduated with a dual degree from Grand Canyon University in Elementary Education and Special Education in 2020.
I am currently a student at Grand Canyon University for a Master's Degree in Special Education.
I enjoy reading, crafting, singing, cooking, and all things outdoors.
