I have been teaching at Mount Mercy College since 1998, after teaching special education in the public schools for twenty years. My teaching career included teaching in both resource and self-contained programs for grades K-12.

Areas that have received my undivided attention during my teaching career include Attention Deficit Disorder & Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder, Self-advocacy, Self-Determination, and Social Skills. In addition, I have pursued keeping current with research and information on the law and special education as well as adults with disabilities.

Professionally I also provide in-service training for local schools in accommodations for special needs and for dealing with those identified with ADD/ADHD. I enjoy working with both students and teachers in our local schools, especially as I work to prepare future teachers.  Additionally I present at conferences on the above topics as well as students with disabilities preparing for college.

In my own time I enjoy cooking, reading, needlepoint, watching movies, and traveling. My favorite location for traveling currently is the Boston area, as much of my family is there.
