I thoroughly enjoy teaching! I am so excited to work with your child! I have worked with individuals with disabilities and their families from infancy through adulthood. Building a strong rapport with my students and their families is very important to me. We are a school family! I am a lifelong learner and have earned three degrees focusing on Special Education, with my last degree a Ph.D.
This is my 8th year that I am teaching in the Greenville County School System. I am so excited to begin our 2025-2026 school year as a Special Education Teacher, Primary Multi.-Cat. at Lake Forest Elementary School. My first, two years I was a Resource Teacher at Lake Forest Elementary School. My third year, I was a Multi.-Cat., Special Education Teacher in the K8 Virtual School. My fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh year, I was a Special Education Teacher, Primary Multi.-Cat. (K-2), at Lake Forest Elementary School.
I grew up in New York, not far from the Atlantic Ocean, spending a lot of time surfing in the ocean. I have lived most of my professional life in the South and really enjoy the Carolinas! Cycling, kayaking, swimming, hiking, birding, camping, and photography help me to relax.
I am very passionate about teaching. What makes my day is knowing at the end of the day that I have made a difference in the day of each of my students. It is so exciting to see how much each student has progressed since the beginning of a school year!
We are a School Family; we are a TEAM! We look forward to building our School Family with you!
