Fun Facts
One thing people quickly learn about me is that I have written movie screenplays and am currently working on a TV series.
About Me
I have been working with children on the autism spectrum for the last 3-1/2 years. I worked at Lindamood-Bell before that for 18 months teaching students with various learning challenges in decoding, sight word recognition, and reading comprehension. I have also previously worked as a senior technical writer for 9 years in the computer industry.
Experience
As a Senior Behavior Technician I have worked for 3-1/2 years with children aged 18 months to 16 years of age on the autism spectrum. I am an experienced educator who has taught children and adults English, math, computer skills, piano and guitar over the last 19 years.
Approach
My passion is to not only teach the subject matter, but to spark a love of the learning process itself and to empower students to discover and reach toward their highest potential. Learning can be exciting and fun as well as challenging, and when all of these things come together students tend to engage more fully in the process, forget they are learning, and remember what they have learned!
