My Project

After years of working and researching in higher education policy, I realized that real, transformative change begins at the roots of education. That’s why I decided to bring my passion and dedication to K-12 students with special needs. Now, as a first-year special education teacher, I’m thrilled to be on this journey, nurturing young minds and making a lasting impact on their lives.

I’ve poured my heart into setting up my classroom, but I still need help to provide the tools and resources my students need to thrive.

My students face unique challenges, and some have health conditions that make it critical to maintain a clean, dust-free environment while fostering an engaging and creative learning space.

Here’s how your support can help us achieve our goals:

Wireless All-In-One Printer: To create tailored lesson plans, print personalized materials, and showcase student projects.

Sensory Floor Tiles: A vital resource for calming activities and sensory stimulation, helping my students focus and stay engaged.

Document Camera: A game-changing tool for visual learners, making lessons more interactive and accessible.

Cleaning Supplies: From a Swiffer PowerMop to dust-free brooms, these tools will ensure our classroom remains safe, clean, and healthy.

Why This Matters:

My classroom is more than just a place to learn—it’s a safe haven where my students can grow and succeed. With your generosity, we can create an environment that supports their health, sparks their creativity, and meets their unique needs.

This career is more than a job for me—it’s a mission. I’m passionate about making a difference in my students’ lives, and with your help, I can give them the tools and space they deserve to flourish.

Thanks for helping us build a brighter future, one student at a time! Every donation makes a profound difference, and I’m so grateful for your support.
