I have been teaching for 5 years - I have always been at Stonegate - I have always taught the Learning for Independence class. I grew up right around the corner off Randolph Road and went to Paint Branch HS in 1998. I went to Mount St. Mary's College and graduated in 2002 with a dual certificate in Special and Elementary Education. I am currently at John's Hopkins University working on my Masters in Assistive Technology for Special Education. And I am living in Fells Point Baltimore! I have an older brother who is 30, has cerebral palsy and is independently living in Rockville - go BV!!! My mom is an Art teacher at Burtonsville ES - and she is counting down the days to retirement - go DV!!! Okay that's enough about me - go check out the Learning for Independence webpage- it's awesome!
