Where...
    I work at Horizon Academy in Valdosta, GA.  It is a part of the Lowndes County School System and is a member of the GNETS program (Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support).  Horizon Academy provides therapeutic services to students who have severe emotional and behavioral disorders and it serves students from Lowndes, Brooks, Echols, and Valdosta City school systems.

Who...
    I love going to the beach and visiting historic places.  I am intrigued by Jacksonville, FL because of the various night-life activities, such as Poe's Tavern.  In various places in the restaurant, infamous Poe stories are heard.  The beauty of the St. Johns River from the Jacksonville Landing is breathtaking during the day and the night.  Soon, I hope to visit New York to explore New York City and Staten Island.

What...
 
    I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade special education ELA/Reading and Social Studies.  Along with academics, we work on social skills and students individual needs.  When a student successfully meets their needs that are listed on his or her IEP, the student is recommended to return to the general education setting at their home school.
