Profile of Cecelia W.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I worked at Timberlawn Psychiatric Hospital in the children's unit as a mental health specialist for two and a half years and then worked in a special one year family genetics research project. Additionally, I worked with adolescents at Richardson Medical Center (now a satellite of Baylor Medical Center). I enjoy music, art, animals, reading, yoga, and volunteering for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Additionally, I have worked in a college learning center with various types of students, many of whom had special needs, and have taught elementary school, college courses, day camps, and workshops for children and adults. I know a little American Sign Language and a little braille.
