Welcome students and families to NLR Middle School 6th grade! I would like to introduce myself to you. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a bachelor's degree in both Special Education and Elementary Education. I also received my master's degree in Special Education from the University of Central Arkansas. I am entering my 30th year of teaching, having spent all of those in Special Education. I am currently teaching in a Self-Contained classroom serving students with Autism and various other disabilities. I have a husband, two adult children and two dogs. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
