Summary

I am a student of special education. I recognize that all children are unique with individual strengths, talents, and areas of growth. I strive to create an inclusive, welcoming classroom environment where ideas are explored and making mistakes is encouraged to better learn and improve our skill levels. I am dedicated to implement science-based intensive practices, administer tests, and evaluate students in both standardized and insightful ways.
