I've been a Life Skills teacher at Southwest High School since 2009. Prior to 2009 I was a Life Skills teacher at Roosevelt High School for 5 years and a CLASS teacher at Webster. I received my undergraduate degree in teaching from Michigan State University and my Masters Degree in Special Education from the University of St. Thomas. I love working with students who have learning challenges and helping them discover ways to learn and become independent and responsible young adults.

This school year (2012-20113) I'm teaching biology and language arts classes. To view a course syllabus for each class please see the appropriate subsection listed on the right side my web page. The syllabus explains my class expectations, curriculum, and grading procedures.
