Bio: I attended Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, and earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I taught elementary school for 11 years and simultaneously completed graduate work at Shippensburg University in the field of Special Education. During that time, I was convinced that education could do something more for students with learning disabilities; I believed there had to be a way of helping weaknesses get stronger, rather than just accommodating and modifying the environment. I attended the NILD Conference with a friend, and I was hooked! I completed Level I Training the next summer, and I have never considered any other approach to the field of Special Education. My husband and I live in Hagerstown, MD, and enjoy biking the Rail Trail and C&O Canal tow path and traveling. We also enjoy our nieces and nephews and the "grand" nieces and nephews they so graciously share with us. My whole career has been in Christian Education where I am blessed to be able to share the love of our Lord Jesus with all of my students. I believe it is by inviting Him into each educational therapy session that real transformation happens.
