I am an educator in the field of special education. I have been teaching for 10 years at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. I earned my undergraduate degree in Specific Learning Disabilities at the University of North Florida. I earned additional certifications in Visually Impaired and English Speaking Other Languages (ESOL) through the state of Florida. I voluntarily earned National Board Certification in Early Childhood to Young Adult - Mild to Moderate Disabilities 2005. In April 2009 I earned my master's degree in Special Education with a concentration in disability services from the University of North Florida. My current placement as a special educator is with a fine group of elementary students who are visually impaired and have other handicapping conditions. I am passionate about my work, I deeply value the students I am instructing and I am grateful for the opportunities my students present to me each day. "I teach for all to learn".
