All of my students are post-graduates who have not yet met the graduation requirements for their school and who require specialized transitional services until they transition from school services at the age of 22. The students come to us from many school districts for life skills instruction, functional academics, as well as vocational training.

Why Do I Teach?:
I teach lifeskills and pre-vocational skills to students ages 18-22 because I believe that the transition to adulthood is such a crucial time in a student's life. I want to do everything in my power to help my students become independent members of society who make substantial contributions to their communities.
