A committed and passionate teaching assistant with 14+ years of experience in schools, education, and student coordination. I encourage and support students with diverse needs to become independent learners and active members of the classroom, school, and community. As a mother of a child with autism, I have firsthand experience with the challenges, needs, and abilities of children with special conditions. This personal journey has given me deeper insight and empathy, enabling me to find practical solutions to support the growth and development of children with special needs.
