Staff
Welcome to the Special Education Department at Frankfort!
As the new Director of Exceptional Needs, I bring 23 years of dedicated experience in special education. My passion lies in embracing learning challenges and helping every student grow to their fullest potential. Having worked hard as a student myself, I understand the struggles that come with new content. Additionally, growing up with a family member with a learning disability and a best friend with a cognitive disorder has given me a personal connection and a deeper understanding of these challenges.
I believe in being creative and fun in my approach, making learning an enjoyable journey for all. I am proud to be a part of the Frankfort Hot Dog community, where we are committed to serving the best students and staff. Together, we will continue to foster an inclusive and supportive environment for all our exceptional learners.

In my 25 years of experience in special education, I have seen firsthand the incredible potential of students when they are provided with individualized, compassionate, and consistent support. My passion is working with students, teachers, and families to create an environment where every child feels valued, included, and capable of achieving their fullest potential. I look forward to working with each of you!
