Everyone comes into the field of education for a reason. For me I have been fueled by my desire to help students to overcome challenges that they face both academically as well as behaviorally in school. I have worked with adjudicated students at a wilderness camp, taught in public schools with students who have IEP's for emotional/behavioral difficulties, supported teachers through various special education needs, and have taught subjects such as reading, writing, social skills, history, and math. Needless to say, I have been driven to help others because I enjoy the challenge, building relationships, and helping to bridge the gap in learning difficulties.
