I have 20 years experience in local school system. Have worked as a substitute teacher in K-12 setting and have been active in curriculum and instruction in all subject matter for many years including but not limited to students in special needs. I enjoy seeing students succeed. I have completed a Masters in Military History with a concentration in the American Revolution where a Masters thesis was completed.

Because I truly understand the needs of students. Why? Because I struggled as a student, overcame odds and completed what I wasn't supposed to.

Exploring the students likes versus dislikes and building in them. Introducing things that they are interested in even with subjects and topics they see as boring.

I have been actively involved in Special Needs in classroom.
