My name is Mary Herndon and this is my second year as the CDC Teacher at Gene Brown and my 9th year as a teacher overall. I have my Bachelor's in Science from Vanderbilt University, double majoring in Special Education and Human and Organizational Development. I also completed a Master's in Special Education from Vanderbilt. I taught in various Special Education classrooms and settings in North Carolina and Texas, before returning to Tennessee. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my family and friends.
