Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a certified special education teacher with 9 years of experience supporting students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. I earned my undergraduate degree in both Special Education and General Education, and my master’s degree in Special Education from Southern Connecticut State University with a focus on behavioral interventions. I have also completed my sixth year at Sacred Heart University, and this fall I will begin my doctoral program.
Throughout my career, I have worked in specialized outplacement programs across Connecticut, helping students improve both academically and behaviorally. I have experience working with students in grades 3–9 and supporting learners with Autism, ADHD, and a wide range of other disabilities and learning differences.
My teaching approach is highly student-centered. I believe every child can succeed when given the right tools, support, and learning environment. I strive to build strong relationships with students while tailoring instruction to meet their individual needs and learning styles. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching for me is seeing students gain confidence and celebrate their successes—big or small.
I’m passionate about helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and I look forward to supporting each child on their learning journey.
