Instructor for SPED

College of Ed UHCL

Greetings. My work began teaching and working as SPED Coordinator for Head Start. After 15 years, I transitioned to Elementary Ed, instructor and advisor for Community Colleges and now instruct online for the University of Houston-Clear Lake certification courses. All the while I have had a love for science and space. Interning at SCH for graduate work, STS-135 JSC tweet-up, Mars Curiosity Kennedy launch & landing at JSC + SCH, not to mention, boarding the 905 with shuttle Endeavour on top. I have completed presentations on science, even writing environmental science curriculum for two elementary schools through an EIH grant, to the endless opportunities with NASA socials, workshops, plus attending SEEC since 2004. It never gets old and always fun. I would love to meet you.
