Why did you go into teaching/tutoring?

I enjoy discovering student’s strengths and supporting them in developing a successful plan that will lead to a fulfilling career.

Why did you choose special education?

Sometimes everything falls into place and you just cannot explain how amazing it is or how it all happened. For me, I was lead into this field and I have found my niche.

Many of our students have long histories of frustration and disappointment. Helping them achieve success and build confidence provides me with daily motivation.
