I have been teaching for 35+ years. I was born and bred in New York on Long Island.  

 My entire teaching career has been in special education, most of which is in middle school.   

I moved to Texas to be closer to my family. I have 2 brothers, both are here in Dallas.

I have 5 nephews that I adore, and two Shih-Tzus named Henry and Pebbles. They are both spoiled rotten.

When I am not at school or with my family, I am on Netflix bing-watching some series, doing crafts, or reading.
