I love teaching Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE). My teaching strategy includes a very active learning approach where children can learn through exploration. Language acquisition and communication are my passion. I have been teaching for 20 years. My favorite thing about teaching is watching my students apply skills that I taught them. I have been married to my husband Lonnie for 30 years. We have 2 sons and twin daughters. I love animals; we have 8 alpacas, 2 geese, 2 peacocks, 1 cat and 1 dog.
