Mona received her Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Maryland in special education. She has been in the education field for over two decades. Her career started in the classroom working with students who have mild to moderate disabilities, as well as general education students in several settings as a special education teacher. Later in her career, she became an IEP facilitator assisting schools in meeting federal and state timelines as well as supporting teachers to provide well written IEPs and services for their students. Her journey with special education led her to become a support broker for adults with special needs accessing waivers through DDA in 2017. She is currently accepting individuals that need minimal support (an hour per month or less). This will best service families that need a support broker if the family is working as support staff for the individual due to the new DDA requirement.
