About Me

I have been teaching multiple subjects with an ever increasingly diverse group of students since 2008, when I graduated from the University of Toledo, with my Bachelor of Art in History and Bachelor of Education in Adolescent/Young Adult Education. I have taught history, math, language, reading, test preparation, life skills, business, and vocational skills to students of all ages and all ability types, including students with special needs. Over the last ten years, I have worked with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Emotional Disturbances, Specific Learning Disabilities, and other special needs, helping them to achieve academic and social success in the classroom and community. I received my Master of Art in Inclusive Education in 2016, and my Master of Education in Foundations of Behavior Analysis in 2019.It is my belief that every student has the potential to learn anything; it is up to the student, teacher, and parent(s)/guardian(s) to figure out through what medium is best suitable for the learner. I am a facilitator, rather than a lecturer; it is critical that the student explain his or her thought process when completing an assignment, so I may evaluate whether or not she or he fully understands the concept. I believe that learning can be fun, whether it is reading a book, or playing a game. I look forward to working with you and/or your learner through the course of this year!
