I am a product of the Buffalo Public Schools and I enjoy teaching. My teaching certification is Special Education k-12 and I have taught in the Buffalo district for a very long time.  This will be by third year teaching at IPrep.    My most imporant goal as a teacher is to ensure that every student feels successful and to encourage them to do their very best.  My motto that I live by is "Effort always pays off."  When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, Luke!  During the summer months,  I treasure sitting quiely by the water to read a book.  I love to read autobiographies and most recently, cookbooks on plantbase eating and vegetarian meals.
