I have taught in the general education classroom in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. I have taught Special Education Inclusion/Resource for the past three years. Two of which have been at WRE. Prior to WRE I was at Aikin Elementary, which is also in RISD.

What is your teaching/leading style?
I try to alter my teaching style to meet individual student needs and learning styles. 

It is very rewarding to give students who oftentimes don't have an opportunity to experience a great deal of academic success in the general education classroom the chance to shine in a smaller setting where instruction is more individualized and targeted to their needs.

Helen Keller said that " The highest result of education is tolerance." I think we all need to understand that each one of us, even those who are different, are important pieces in the larger puzzle that is life.

I love my work, so I struggle with balancing it with my home life. I do, however, enjoy spending time with my family and friends when possible.
