I have always worked with Special Needs children most of my career. I have diligently prodded, encouraged and cheered on children with physical challenges or cognitive delays. I attended Lindenwood University in Saint Charles and earned a Master's Degree in Education and made progress towards a Certification in Special Education. Education is the key to most students success in life. My goal as a teacher is to motivate, encourage and get young people out into the world and make a difference!
