I am the Student Support Facilitator for Ola Elementary School.  I have nineteen years of teaching experience, including four years teaching abroad in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I am passionate about serving my community and helping those who have difficulties learning.  I am a lifelong learner with a master’s degree in Education.  My teaching certifications include Special Education, Elementary Education, and Reading Specialist.  I am a world traveler and I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures. While teaching abroad, I was blessed to visit some amazing countries, meet welcoming people, and eat delicious food!  I traveled to several different countries and islands, including Greece, Crete, Jordan, Cyprus, Spain, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka, Oman, Qatar, Germany, U.A.E., and Turkey. I plan to visit these places again and enjoy the rich culture and foods of diverse people.
