Greetings! Thank you for visiting my webpage.  I am a special education teacher and have been with Dade Elementary for 16 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; certification as a Registered Behavior Technician through TeachTown; and 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.
