Very Cool Visuals

This is my 18th year as an education specialist, where I currently teach a Mild/Moderate TK-1 special day class. Before teaching this group, I roved my district as the Autism Specialist, supporting kids across the entire spectrum. Throughout my career I have written social stories, made token charts, and created visual supports for nonverbal preschoolers, fully included sixth graders, and everything in between. It has been my extreme pleasure to see what I have created help my students bloom, and I hope I can help your students have the same success.

I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Using effective visuals sets the foundation for a successful school experience, for both teacher and student. I like to use color, creativity, and clear communication, both verbal and especially VISUAL, to create a warm, loving, and vibrant classroom community where each success is celebrated.

Each day working with kids is an honor :)

I received my BA in American Literature and Culture from UCLA, and my Mod/Sev Teaching Credential and M.Ed from UC Santa Barbara. I have training in Pivotal Response Training, ABA, Discrete Trial, TEACCH, and Social Stories.

When I am not wrangling little ones at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter, our dog, two cats, and three chickens!
