Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Gaskell!

Rebecca Gaskell is thrilled to be ACLD Tillotson School’s new Math Teacher. She earned her master's degree in special education from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. During her college career, Rebecca also studied Art and Music in the United Kingdom until the COVID 19 pandemic sent her back to the states. Outside of the classroom, she enjoys building LEGO sets, planning trips to Disney World, cooking, and watching movies. Rebecca is looking forward to all that awaits her at Tillotson.
