Special Education Teacher

For the last twenty years, I have been working in colleges as a teacher and administrator, primarily with students with academic needs including first-generation college students, ESL students, and students with disabilities. I am happy to be making the transition to New Roots Charter School in order to share my knowledge of higher education with students here.  

I currently live in a tiny home in Montour Falls with my two dogs – Ruby and Diego – who I spend a lot of time walking.  I also enjoy going to the movies – particularly action movies, with some of my favorite ones being the Dark Knight and Mad Max series.
