  4. Experience in RCPS I am currently a Special Education teacher at Hidden Valley High School. I have been with Roanoke County Schools since January, 2006. During my tenure, I have taught with faculty in many departments, including English, Math, and Science. Additionally, I teach the Developmental Reading classes at the school.

  5. Personal Attributes Extensive background in the field of Special Education in a variety of settings. Thorough understanding of the needs of Special Education students and parents. Ability to effectively communicate with others. Willingness to collaborate with students, parents, teachers, and administrators to address students’ educational needs. Detail oriented.

Working with parents of special needs children has been invaluable in understanding the complex issues involved when dealing with families of special needs children.

Professional Highlights • Co-Chair of The Achievement Center’s SACS renewal committee (2004-2005) • Presenter at Virginia IDA State Conference (2003) • Developed a specialized high school curriculum for learning disabled students at The Achievement Center. (2002) • Director for S.W. Region, VA International Dyslexia Assoc. (2000-2003)
