My Students

In 2020 I completed my Masters in Education with an emphasis in Autism at San Diego State University after attending Point Loma Nazarene University for my undergraduate degree. I am in my fourt year of teaching the most wonderful students. These kids know how to love unconditionally, they just need a little extra love and support in return.

My students are extra special!

They need some extra love and support because they learn differently than most people.

My students have a range of moderate to severe needs and learn best with hands-on activities and have a variety of learning styles. My classroom could really, really use your help to fill and my students will greatly benefit from your help and support. I still have a long way to go to fill my classroom with materials for these students.

90% of the students that I work with come from low socio-economic backgrounds and families. Their parents give 100% to raising these kids with moderate and severe disabilities including autism, downs syndrome, and intellectual and physical disorders. They can be greatly impacted by your help. Thank you very, very much!

My Project

My classroom has an amazing, huge, built in planter box right next to it. Currently it is filled with overgrown weeds and old shrubs. My goal is to have my students build it into something beautiful!

They will learn how to weed, plant, water and take care of a garden as a vocational skill!

I will teach them lessons on gardening and we will do an entire unit on plant science. We also already have a watering can and I think my students will love adding a garden to their jobs skills class.
