As an elementary school teacher I meet and work with students who have a range of needs and disabilities. I am also and early childhood music specialist and love to incorporate the arts as a therapeutic physical, language-based, and cognitive tool. I am firm yet loving and dependable. I respect every child or young adult I work with and help them to unlock their full potential through one-on-one play. I have the most experience working with children/adults who have Autism or are on the Autism spectrum and speech/language delays. I have basic American Sign Language skills, love to bake, play the piano, explore outdoors, read, and teach.
