Hi there! My name is Ms. Doherty and I teach Special Education at ODE. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Masters in Education from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. This is only my second year at ODE but I have taught for almost 25 years in Southern California, Chicago, and North Carolina. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia and even saw the pyramids in Egypt while riding on a camel!
My favorite thing to do is spending time with my husband and four sons. When we are not cooking together, we are going to the beach. It is such a pleasure to teach at ODE and I cannot wait to begin a new year of learning with my students. Even though our day may look different from years past, I am so excited to get started!
