As a devoted mother of two-an artistically inclined 9-year-old daughter and a joyful 5-year-old son with Down syndrome-my journey into special education has been deeply personal and profoundly purposeful. Inspired by my son's spirit and the incredible potential in every child, I pursued a Master's in Education with a focus on Mild/Moderate Support Needs. While I am not yet credentialed, I am actively working toward that goal. With two years of experience in classroom settings, including subbing and supporting students with autism and diverse learning needs, I bring compassion, dedication, and real-world insight to every learning environment.
