about me

Hello and welcome to my website! I am so glad that you're here. I'd like to take this time to tell you a bit about myself. I received my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Maryland in Elementary Education and my Master's Degree at St. Joseph's College in Childhood Special Education. I continued my education in Thailand where I received a TEFL International Certificate which certified me to teach English around the world! I have been teaching Special Education in Westhampton Beach Elementary School since 2005 and I couldn't be a happier Hurricane! I also coach, tutor, and chaperone within the district so I will surely see you all around! When I am not busy teaching little ones, I can be found at the beach, traveling, hiking or gardening at my little cottage in Manorville. Thanks for stopping by!

Our Class Mission Statement

IN THIS CLASSROOM...

We do things differently. We stim. We talk loud. We repeat. We IEP, FBA, and ABA. We use social stories and learn social cues. We practice life skills. We potty train, and potty train again. We meltdown. We do visual schedules, and first and then. We adapt and accommodate. We think outside the box. We persevere, make progress, and never give up. We celebrate EVERYTHING. We love hard. We respect. We accept.

WE ARE A FAMILY.
