About Me:

 

In my teaching I connect theory to practice.  My experience as a teacher and director of a school district early childhood program will allow me to share real life experiences with you.  I also will bring in my experience as an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher when appropriate to the content. 

 

Recently I retired as the Coordinator/Faculty at East Central Community College in Education/Early Childhood.  Currently, I am a CDA PD Specialist and a private education consultant.  I love teaching and working with educators in the field.

 

I have three children who are all in college and I live in Washington, MO.
