I was raised in Livonia, Michigan and attended St. Michael School and Ladywood High School.  I was a homeschooling mom for my own 4 children in Colorado.  I taught in Denver Public Schools, Regular Ed, 4th and 5th grades, and in a Special Education resource room.  I returned to Michigan and taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Learning Disabilities, in Detroit Public Schools. I have been with Livonia Public Schools for over 22 years at Western Wayne Skill Center, where I have taught a variety of classes. I have my Bachelors of Science degree in Special Education 0-26, Regular Education K-12, with a Homebound teaching certificate, and my Masters in Learning Disabilities, and Education Specialist degree from Wayne State University. Currently, I am at Garfield Community (WWSC) teaching Child Development.
