Special Education Teacher Email Phone: 262-495-7101 (EXT 2313) I'm a cross-categorical special education teacher for students in 9th and 10th grade. I enjoy working with these students, seeing them discover what they can do and helping them develop learning and coping strategies that will help them overcome their particular learning difficulties. My teaching philosophy is that I believe that each student is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. My desire as an educator is to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. I want to meet my students where they are at and help and encourage them to be the best they can be and do the best they can do.
Graduated from UW-Whitewater in 1991 with a BSE in Special Education. Started teaching at Palmyra-Eagle Area School District in 1991 and have been with the district every since.
In my free time, I enjoy camping, fishing, gardening, and reading.
