@joannaowen
Dedicated educator with expertise in special needs education.
I am a passionate educator with a strong background in special needs education, having graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. My journey has equipped me with the skills to work effectively with students of varying exceptionalities, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delays.
Throughout my career, I have held various teaching positions, including my current role at Belmont Secondary School. I have also gained valuable experience as a research assistant at the University of the West Indies, where I contributed to diabetes and metabolic research. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively engage in community service and youth ministry.
