Hello! My name is Michaela Collins, and I am your child's teacher! I have always had a passion for special education, and I have been drawn to Hillcrest since I was a little girl. My older sister graduated from Hillcrest in 2007, and when I would come visit, I fell in love with the school. I attended the University of South Florida in Tampa where I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Special Education. Currently, I am enrolled with Purdue Univerdity, and I am working towards my Master's of Science in Special Education. I look forward to having your child in my class, and I know with your help, we will be able to do wonderful things and make tremendous gains for your child!
