Teach, Learn, Share
I have a master's degree in special education with a specialization in Autism. I have a huge knowledge base in this area and would love to share with anyone who seeks it! I love to surf and have worked as an instructor in the past. If you want to learn, it would be great to get you out in the water with me! I will never learn everything that I want to in just one lifetime... but that doesn't mean I can't try! Teach me anything!
