Teaching Experience	I have been a special education teacher for Miami-Dade County Public Schools for eleven years. I commenced my teaching career at Riverside Elementary, an inner city school. As a result of the large number of children with variety of Educational needs, I was privileged to see first hand the growth that most of them achieved during my years at the school. This proved to be a most rewarding experience. At Riverside, some of my responsibilities included; ESE Teacher for staffing outside of school; ESE Chairperson; FAB Specialist; Inclusion Project Leader; ESE Scheduling; ESE CUM Reviewer and assigning ESE students to ESE classrooms. In 2005, I came to Flagami Elementary as part of this school's faculty. I work in both the Resource and the Inclusion setting, helping students meet their individual needs. For the past two years I have also been the Sped (ESE) Chairperson.
Other Interests	Spending quality time with my family, reading, listening to music, watching T.V., swimming, going to the movies, eating Italian food and traveling.
