I am a Special Education Teacher and Department Chair with over 11 years of experience in Vallejo City Unified School District. My work focuses on creating structured learning environments that support student independence, positive behavior, and academic success. I hold a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University and am committed to continuous professional growth, instructional leadership, and mentoring educators. My goal is to empower students with disabilities to develop the skills necessary for independence, meaningful employment, and successful participation in their communities.
