This is my 23rd year of teaching. All 23 years have been dedicated to teaching students in this very program. This is my 19th year at Abbot.

I graduated from EMU with a Major in Cognitive Impairments and a Minor in Early Childhood Education. I completed my Masters Degree in Autism. 

I grew up in Monroe, MI but have lived in this area for over 25 years. My partner and I recently built a house in Dexter, MI. We have one dog; Lola and three cats; Roo, Mama, and Harpurr.
