Teaching + Clinical Therapy/Social Work + Applied Behavior Analysis Experience

I’ve enjoyed working with children for more than ten years as a Clinical Therapist/Social Worker, Elementary Classroom Teacher and Special Education Paraprofessional with Applied Behavior Analysis experience.

My teaching journey is driven by a lifelong love of learning; a deep understanding of how social emotional skills can enhance or inadvertently deter a child's academic progress; and an increasing awareness and appreciation of neurodiversity.

Helping children become focused, engaged, resilient problem-solvers can prepare them to navigate a changing educational landscape and world effectively.

I'm excited to combine therapeutic insight, differentiated instruction and personalized academic and social emotional learning tools to help children thrive.
