Many years working in education has taught me resilience, empathy, drive to encourage and "teach" but most importantly how to listen and understand the needs of others. My extensive experience ranges from direct care with the most severely exceptional clients to educating those who need more than academics, but also life skills and inter-personal relationships. On the side, I capture my most valuable memories through the lens of a camera. I have raised my children and am now looking to expand and utilize my years of experience to lead others to facilitate the world of education as many changes have occurred over the past few years.
