Hi. My name is Deena. I was a certified licensed mental health counselor for 10 years and then became an elementary school teacher for the last almost 20 years. I was certified in Special Education (K-12) and Elementary Education (K-6). I wrote and implemented IEPs, conducted small group lessons in Reading and Math, and developed lesson plans to meet my students' individual needs and strengths.
