Hello! My name is Shonica. My students call me Ms. D.  I have been a para in kindergarten through second grade at the Shaughnessy Elementary School for 9 years, working mainly in a main-stream classroom paraprofessional.  I have 3 children who are really amazing. They are the loves of my life.  I love to travel with or without them. I love going to church, walking, new adventures and watching movies! I am looking forward to a great school year in 2024-2025.
