I am so excited to teach Special Education classes at the K8 Virtual Academy this year. What a wonderful new adventure and opportunity to be on the cutting edge of learning and teaching virtually. I can't wait to see all the ways in which we will grow. I have worked in Education for 25 years. I love working with our students. I started out as a social worker for Denton ISD's Teen parent program. I then got my teaching certificate and taught a behavior class at Coppell High School and did parent and in home training for the district as well, but really wanted to return to Denton ISD and was blessed with that opportunity. I have been working for the last 15 years as an Autism Specialist / Behavior Coach. and parent and in home trainer. I am thrilled to transition to my next adventure teaching for the K8 Virtual Academy online. I absolutely love Denton. I have lived here for 40 years. I grew up in Phoenix Arizona and lived a short time in California. I followed some family members to Denton Texas and fell in love with this great city and state of Texas. My children are grown and I have several grandchildren. My family means the world to me. I also have a little tiny dog named Sophia and her Friend our new kitten Sapphire. Feel free to reach out to me if I can answer any questions. I am always open to communicating.
