Hello everyone.  I am proud to be the Special Education Director for Cossatot River, Dierks, and Foreman School Districts.  I have been working in the field of special education for over 20 years.  I began my career as a special education teacher in public school, worked for 8 years as an itinerant special education teacher for the Early Childhood Program and then as the Early Childhood Behavior Specialist for another two years.  I am beginning my fifth year as Special Education Director.  I received my B.S.E. in Special Education from Henderson State University, my M.S.E. in Special Education from Arkansas State University and my Ed.S in Special Education Supervision from Arkansas State University. Additionally, I recently received my Ed.S in Superintendency from Arkansas State University.  I have a 25 year old son who is a nurse.  I enjoy spending time outdoors, rooting for the Razorbacks, and traveling.  If you have any questions concerning special education, please feel free to contact me.
