About NET

I have had a vision for special education consulting and advocacy for over 20 years. Now that I am a retired special education educator with 30 years of experience, I have made that vision a reality. As an educator, I was driven by my passion to see that the unique needs of my students were met. I also recognized the need for parents to be heard. I am no stranger to expressing my concerns and discussing problem-solving strategies with classroom teachers, administrators, directors, and parents.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) from Barton College and a North Carolina certification in teaching students with Learning Disabilities. In my 30 years in special education, I was a middle school inclusion teacher,  a DHH teacher across all academic settings, an itinerant teacher, an Exceptional Children's Case Manager, and an Exceptional Children's Facilitator.   My students, from pre-school to age 21, had a wide range of cognitive and academic abilities, the full range of hearing loss and multiple special education eligibilities.
