As a Special Education Teacher, I have been providing educational and emotional support to students with various disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, English Learners, and Severely Emotionally Disturbed (ED), for over nine years. I have been teaching students with ED at a nonpublic school setting since 2013. I have a Bachelor's degree in Art Education and a certification in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.My mission is to help my students achieve their academic and personal goals, while fostering their self-esteem and confidence. I use a variety of teaching methods and strategies, such as individualized instruction, project-based learning, and fine art activities, to engage and motivate my students. I also collaborate with other teachers, therapists, and parents to ensure the best outcomes for my students. I am passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of my students and their families.
