I majored in special education in its infancy. Throughout my 37+ years in education, I have monitored and educated myself to the changes in special education. My values have always been that of an educator and an advocate for students, ensuring that every decision I made was in the best interest for the student. Now, as a retired educator, I am looking forward to continue my work as an advocate to assist families and schools to work together for an optimal outcome for students.
After obtaining my Master’s Degree, I have been a teacher or administrator in Special Education for my entire career. I have been fortunate to be able to teach students with all abilities and work with parents to help them with their child’s educational programming. In my retirement, I am continuing to work with parents and students through The Collaborative Parent/Child Educational Advocacy.
