Samantha's Program

Hi all, I'm Sam! I am a High School and Postsecondary Transition Special Education teacher in Arizona. I have been teaching and working as a inclusion advocate for over 4 years and have worked at both the High School and College levels. Some of my hobbies including traveling to new places, going to see musicals, listening to reality tv podcasts, and swimming. In college, I studied abroad twice in Sydney, Australia (3 months interning in children's hospitals) and Italy (major cities for a week). I have also been lucky enough to backpack through Europe with my bestfriend, who I met during study abroad!!
