| Introduction | I bring 19 years of experience in public education as a special education teacher, general education teacher, and school principal, with extensive experience supporting English Language Learners. I hold a BS in Special Education from Westfield State University, a Master's in Social Work from Springfield College, and a certification in School Administration through MESPA. My advocacy background includes specialized training and internship completion through the Federation for Children with Special Needs, where I later served as a trainer. I founded High Expectations Advocacy in September 2009, and I've co-taught two graduate-level courses on Transition Planning. I previously served on the Board of Directors for SPaN: Special Needs Advocacy Network, Inc. As a first-generation immigrant and a bilingual French/English speaker, I bring both personal and professional insight to the families I work with. |
