Join TheDonnanator on Friday June 21st, 2024 for what promises to be an interesting meeting. Here’s a little bit about Donna.

I was a regular presenter at various in-service and conferences, both on the district and the state level, and was named Maryland Council for Exceptional Children Teacher of the Year in 2009.

I joined the SMART recovery community in 2017 and continued my work on the impact of music, but with the focus of music on adult behaviors, especially related to recovery. I have presented at SROL’s New Year’s Eve Around the World, and was a regular guest presenter for DreamBigger’s Friday night meetings. I have served as a facilitator, co-facilitator/meeting helper, chat room Moderator, and Moderator for Recovery RAWKstars. I am also active in Reddit and other recovery Discord servers.

I am an avid Ohio State football fan, having received my Bachelor’s in music and my Master’s in special education from there. I enjoy keeping up with my SMART family, corresponding through snail mail, and reading. I live with my husband, my son Sam, and the hummingbirds in northeast Ohio.
