About
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. In my junior year, I was an elementary student teacher. When I became actively involved in the Special Education program, I found my real passion. As a teacher, I plan to discover my students’ strengths so that I can design learning styles that utilize those abilities and adapt to their learning styles while building on my students’ individual strengths. My goal is to ensure that special needs students’ achieve success both in the classroom and in the real world.
