I’m a Special Needs teacher with a deep passion for working with children and an even deeper love for animals. At home, I’m proud to share my life with two beautiful companions—Athena, my loyal black dog, and Luna, my mysterious and affectionate black cat. My calm and collected nature seems to naturally attract animals, and I find great joy in connecting with them, whether they’re furry, feathered, or scaled. I truly believe that all animals, like people, deserve love, understanding, and kindness. Being around them brings me peace and reminds me of the importance of patience, empathy, and quiet strength—values I carry with me both in and out of the classroom.
