“What a long time it can take to become the person one has always been. How often in the process we mask ourselves in faces that are not our own? How much dissolving and shaking of ego we must endure before we discover our deep identity? The true self within every human being that is the seed of authentic vocation.”
-Parker Palmer
I am Natarsha P. Sanders. Wife. Sister. Daughter. Aunt. Friend. Student. Speaker. Writer. Educator. Advocate.
I have over a decade of experience in Special Education within public schools. I began my career as a teacher assistant and have earned my licensure to teach both math and English/language arts. I have worked as a resource teacher and as an adapted curriculum teacher in elementary, middle and high schools.
I’ve earned a BA from Hollins University in Roanoke, VA and a MA from North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. I’m happy to say that I’m currently pursuing her doctorate in educational ministry from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA.
I continue my professional development as a member of the International Association of Special Education. As a result, I’ve been invited to present research throughout the nation and the world. My research interests include developmental and cognitive delays, learning disabilities, curriculum development and teacher leaders.
I live in Wake County, NC with my husband Lorenzo and the memories of our German Shepard, Dunbar.
