Hello, I am a 51yo special education teacher. I took 6 years off to prepare my (now teenage) sons for kindergarten. They are advanced academically and emotionally. I am leaving education and venturing into a new career by starting a business advocating for families struggling with the school system. I’m kind, fun, patient, and trustworthy. My resume goes back to 1996 and is mostly education (grades K-12). I am a native San Diegan. I graduated from Santana HS & San Diego State University. I attained my teaching credentials from National University (Social Studies, English Language Learning, SPED, Behavior Interventions with a specialty in Autism). I follow the Love & Logic strategy to raising and teaching children.
