This is my first year with Plano ISD as a Special Education teacher in the CSC/STRIVE Program. I take great pride in becoming a teacher. My favorite part about Special Education is the steady progression that our students strive to make as they advance throughout the school years. Prior to teaching, I worked in nonprofits while gaining experience in mental health. Over the years, my love for mental health grew into one of my passions for working with adolscents in communities and schools. Also, I worked as a paraprofessional for two years. It is an honor to be apart of the Plano ISD family.
