I have been teaching English Language Arts and providing services to students with disabilities since 2010. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English, Professional and Academic Writing, with a minor in Speech Communication, as well as a Master of Science in Teaching in Adolescent English with a concentration in Special Education. In addition, I have acquired New York State teaching certifications in English Language Arts Grades 5-9, English Language Arts Grades 7-12, Teaching Students with Disabilities Grades 5-9 – English, and Teaching Students with Disabilities Grades 7-12 – English. My combined certifications in English and Special Education as well as my years of experience allow me to effectively address every student’s learning needs, ensuring that all students can achieve success in my classroom.
