Greetings! Thank you for visiting my webpage.  I am a special education teacher and have been with Dade Elementary for 12 years.  During these years, I have completed my master's degree in Elementary Education from UTC; my Ed. D in Curriculum and Instruction from Liberty University in Lynchburg, TN; a certificate in School Leadership from Liberty University; certification as an FBA/BIP trainer from Georgia State University; certification as a Mindset instructor; and currently working on my certification as a Registered Behavior Technician through TeachTown, as well as certification for Educational Leadership through Kennesaw State University.  I love learning new things, and working with my students.  I have high expectations for my students to overcome the obstacles they think are preventing them from learning, and to achieve academic success.  I am a diehard Florida Gator fan, and an even bigger Tim Tebow fan. He is inspirational, and I can identify with his words, “You never know how the tough times you are going through today will inspire someone else tomorrow.” ― Tim Tebow
