I’ve had the honor of teaching students with learning challenges for over 25 years. Each year, my goals are to provide an environment that fosters empathetic and supportive relationships, nurtures curiosity, and helps students discover their strengths while adding skills to their learning toolbox. I still love hearing a student exclaim, “Oh, I get it!” I am grateful to be a part of the McLean community which encourages teachers and students to be lifelong learners. I enjoy being with my family, reading, traveling, and visiting vintage shops when not in the classroom.
