“I enjoy seeing our students achieve or surpass any limitations they or their families might face, due to their disabilities. Behind every child's eye, no matter what their disabilities, there is wisdom, grit, and resilience. They just need to see a village cheering them on, uplifting them, advocating for their voices, and encouraging them to succeed.”

"I have held many positions at Mary Cariola, but no matter what the position my favorite part is interacting with the students every day and helping them learn and grow.  Our students have a high level of need, and I think it is important their needs are met as best as possible and they are not shorted because they may have complex needs or challenging behaviors.  For me, it’s very rewarding when you can connect with the students, have fun with them, and show them that you truly enjoy working with them."
