I am an educator at heart. I have loved my work from the day I started teaching but I especially love doing what that I believe in most—helping children with talents as well as students with special needs.What drives me is it the students, the challenge, and the fact that these special students will hopefully be the leaders in our community and countries. I fell in love with Education and every year my love grows deeper thanks to the staff, students and parents I have, and how they challenge me to be a better teacher, coordinator, facilitator, advocate and resource for them now and in the future.
