I have fourteen years of education experience in general education and special education classroom in the United States, Italy and Namibia; job coaching adults with special needs; and curriculum development at both the primary and secondary levels. I've spent the last six years focused on instructional leadership and training, curriculum development alignment and parent education advocacy.

I've taught a diverse group of students and teachers about special education policy, assessment, early literacy, numeracy concepts and instructional strategies.

My philosophy of education acknowledges the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. My attitude towards children, adolescents and adults as lifelong learners, is one of true enthusiasm. I believe education is a critical tool for nation building and one of the determining factors in the success of a country's productivity and competiveness in today's global economy. My business Branches Of Learning hopes to create learning environments that develop children, parents and teaching professionals to be effective communicators, competent problem solvers, self-directed learners, responsible citizens and quality producers as they prepare to meet the dynamics of an exponetially changing landscape in education.
