Following the completion of the credential program from Fall 2015-Spring 2016, I am completing my Masters course work for a MA in Education with an emphasis in Special Education. I have been conditionally accepted to the Doctor in Education in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Special Education at Grand Canyon University starting in August 2016.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am currently a special education teacher in Davis, CA. I see myself continuing in the career path of being a special education teacher, at my current stage of life. Once I finish my doctorate I wish to take steps forward to establish a Christian organization that works with families who have children with special needs, and assists the families in making connections to the community and finding resources to better understand the disability, how to meet the needs of their child, and steps to take when working with school personnel through the individual education plan process.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in pursuing my Doctor in Education in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Special Education through Grand Canyon University.
