Submitted: March 15, 2012

I have been a Special Education teacher for 2 years at a Non-Public School for children with Autism in Los Angeles and for the last 7 years a Resource Specialist/Special Day Class teacher for Natomas USD in Sacramento. My husband Paul Claussen (LSEE, class of 2003) is a Special Education teacher for Lindhurst High School in Marysville Joint USD. We both love our jobs and truly believe the education received from HSU was the best. It prepared us and gave us a leg up with the wide variety of classes we experienced including Oceanography, Forestry, and Photography to just name a few. We miss the university, but do get back up a few times a year.
