I am always looking for ways to contribute to research whether it be with a teacher, administrator, neurologist, educational researcher, etc. I'll gladly volunteer my time for such an opportunity.

My skills include writing, researching, promotion, speaking, counseling, instructing, and training. My goal is to contribute to K-12 education through the investigation of learning strategies, multidisciplinary instruction, and student responsibility. I particularly enjoy longitudinal studies.

If after reading some of my blogs below, you feel I might be a good fit to work with or assist you, please contact me.

Thank you,
Deborah
