This is my fourth year here at Wilkinson ECC. I am a cross cat, special education teacher who teaches in a self-contained classroom. I couldn't ask for a better career. Working with children with all types of disabilities is a learning experience and a privilege to teach. Every day is something new and sometimes can be quite challenging. I would not trade it for anything.  Each student who enters our classroom will feel a sense of belonging and value. Not only will they feel this way in our classroom, but they will be valued the same way when they enter the building at Wilkinson. I couldn't  work with a better class of teachers and support staff. I strive to make learning fun and exciting.  I look forward to another year of learning and excitement here at Wilkinison ECC.
