Education-wise, I earned a BS in Management and Psychology with Honors (Summa Cum Laude), University of Maryland, and an MA in ESE Learning Disabilities, University of West Florida. After teaching students with exceptional needs, Elementary, Middle, and Secondary schools, I joined the faculty, College of Professional Studies, Division of Teacher Education, in 1996,where I served as Instructor, Coordinator of Educational Programs, and Director, Field Experiences and Student Teaching.
