MS Alvernia University • BA Muhlenberg College
6+ Years Tutoring

Rosemary's graduate work in occupational therapy included extensive training in adaptive learning strategies, sensory processing, and task analysis — the clinical side of what special education looks like in practice. She volunteers regularly with the Down syndrome community, giving her hands-on experience tailoring instruction to different cognitive and developmental profiles. That combination means she doesn't just know accommodations exist; she knows how to implement them in real learning moments.
