  I promise I liked school, even if my face did not show it!

  I graduated from Maine Endwell High School

  I went to SUNY Fredonia for my undergraduate degree. I obviously had to bring my fish with me!

  During my undergraduate experience, I was given the opportunity to study abroad in Belize Central America. While I was there I taught in the only government funded special education school in the country, called Stella Maris. It was also known as the Belize Academy for the Deaf.

  I loved my experience in Belize so much that I went back in 2016. It was amazing to see how much the students grew in one year!

  The technology in Belize is limited, but some of my students there were able to write letters to me. I kept all of these letters, and they solidify why I went into teaching to begin with.
