I am a 2026 graduate of the University of Louisville obtaining a M. ED in Special Education, with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am also a 2024 Cum Laude graduate of the University of Louisville obtaining a B. S. in Elementary Education and Special Education (LBD). I hold a current teaching certification. In my last year at the University of Louisville, I was part of the first cohort of the Option 9 program where I spent a year as an instructional assistant at Coleridge Taylor Elementary and Kennedy Montessori Elementary student teaching in very diverse general education, resource, and self contained settings. During this experience, I found my passion for inclusion and working in special education. I am a current special education resource teacher .
