Hello! My name is Maria G. Finnerty. This will be my first year teaching Special Day Class at VAAS. I am thrilled to be teaching your child in their math courses.

I am excited and thrilled to be teaching your child at VAAS!  I have been teaching students with IEP's since 2006.  I love teaching all subjects.  Math though is my favorite!  
I grew up in East Los Angeles.  I am the youngest of five children.  My parents instilled in me the value of hard work and ethics. I attended Cal State Northridge where I received my Bachelor's degree in Child Development.  I went on to receive my Master's of Science in Marriage, Family, Therapy, and also my Educational Specialist credential.  
I have three grown children, Natalie, Michele, and Connor.  I also have three grandchildren Amy, Lola, and Grayden.  I love spending time with my family and best friends.  I also enjoy working out and taking Zumba classes.  My dog Koko loves to go on a bike run with me.  My favorite place is the beach, where I can relax and enjoy the beauty of the ocean! 
Looking forward to a successful year at VAAS!
