Department(s):
Paraeducator
Mary has worked with children since she was 24 years old. During this time, she has learned so much about being flexible all while being firm and fair.
She is a mom to two children, 20 and 18, and stepmom to two additional children, 17 and 15, as well as 1 cat and 1 dog! Mary loves all animals.
She is a very hands on person and loves to learn about each child and engage them in a way that works for them and makes them feel seen and heard. In her previous job as a severe needs para- trainer, she spent a lot of time assessing and problem solving with each student and observing their triggers and their “happies”. She loves seeing them grow and develop coping techniques while making attachments to their staff and peers.
She looks forward to being back in a para professional role so she can be out and about and getting to know more students than just “hers”.
