About Alison
I was lucky enough to grow up in a family full of Artists and Educators, and these are my two great passions! I want to help enrich students in any way I can. I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Assistant and Substitute Teacher for several years. I have experience working with students in grades K-8th, with a variety of different needs and learning abilities. I look forward to helping students succeed in school this year!
