I have a Master's degree in STEM Education and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (K-6). Also, I have a Trauma Sensitive Educator certification and an Apple Teacher certification. I am also an assistant leader for 4-H and have been teaching for four years. I am using my knowledge from completing two college courses on American Sign Language and communicating with family members.

No supplies are necessary.
