I have over 15yrs experience in Special Education and have also been a special needs caregiver. I am a mom to a beautiful 10yr old special needs child with a rare disease so I am very familiar with the special needs community. I have had First Aid, CPR, and ABA training in the past. I have training with seizures, feeding, and toileting. I am a Cheer Abilities team mom on the weekends and love cheering our athletes on at every occasion. My passion and calling is to work in the special needs community as it has been for many years and very near and dear to my heart.
