I graduated from Cal State Northridge with my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology. I have hands on experience helping people with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and strokes with land and aquatic therapy. I got along great with everyone and enjoyed putting smiles on everyone's faces.

I love indoor and outdoor activities such as video games, card games, all sports, hiking, running, etc. I can easily adapt to unique situations and understand the sensitivity I must have to work with a person with special needs.
