Profile

As a full-time faculty member at George Mason University, I have taught a variety of special education courses, mentored graduate student research projects, and studied ways to facilitate the responsible inclusions of learners with special needs. Prior to making the move to higher education with an Ed.D. in Leadership Studies, I was the coordinator of a day treatment center for students with behavioral disorders in Newport News, VA. Our program supported students from six different school districts. Even though I enjoyed my time in administration, my heart has always been in the classroom. My masters degree is in the areas of Learning Disabilities and Emotional/Behavioral Disorders. I have taught students with special needs in a variety of settings from inclusive to self-contained, mostly grades 6-12. I have also taught math in the general education setting at both the middle and high school levels as General Mathematics was my initial licensure area. My undergraduate background is Psychology.

Research Interests
  • Responsible Inclusion of Individuals with Disabilities
  • Preparation of Teachers and Administrators
  • Effective Interventions in both Classroom and Extracurricular Settings
