I’m a Special education and regular education teacher, with a Master’s degree in Education; I am highly qualified in all core SPED areas K-12 and all areas of Social Studies 7-12; I’ve been teaching since 1999. Before I became a teacher I worked at Children Services investigating 'alleged' child abuse and neglect, Interim Youth Director and an Education Coordinator and teacher at an adult correction facility.
