I grew up in Syracuse, NY. I received my batchelor's degree in general education and special education in 2000 and my master's degree in 2004 both from Syracuse University. I have been a special education teacher in the severe disabilities field for 18 years. I have lived and worked in Key Largo, FL since 2007. I enjoy any and all outdoor activities, teaching yoga, reading and party planning. I'm a huge animal lover and have fostered 27 puppies for the local pet rescue.
