Introduction	I am a recent graduate from the PSU's School of Education, where I received my Master's degree in Special Education. I currently teach in a program for students with HFA/AS at the middle school level. I am fortunate to work in a small art magnet school, where there is a wide range of "normal". Although my school is lucky in a sense, we are a public school, and experience the growing in size of students and cuts in staffing. With the drastic cuts to public education, students and students are receiving less and less instruction. I think incorporating technology and web teaching is a valuable tool for both students and teachers. On line teaching and trainings allow teachers to have access to professional development around focused areas. Teachers are then able to spend their time focusing on what they need to to provide quality instruction.
Interests	I enjoy taking my dog to the park, vacationing anywhere with more sun than Oregon, reading, and doing hands on crafts.
