I am a proud 2001 graduate of Peru State College, majoring in psychology/sociology.  I have been teaching for Peru State for fifteen years now. When not teaching, I work as a School Psychologist where I complete comprehension psycho-educational evaluations to determine eligibility for special education. I also work with students on developing emotional regulation skills.
