How did you come to work with students who learn differently?
Growing up, my mother worked as a developmental therapist for young children so I had lots of exposure to learning differences. She had known about Beacon College and upon getting my doctorate, she suggested I consider looking into Beacon. To amend the words of Caesar: I came. I saw. I stayed.
Hobbies/passions
