I have been working with children and adults with developmental disabilities for about 20 years. I started out working at Camp Friendship where I worked with all age ranges and ability levels. I have also worked with four different group homes/PCA organizations depending on where I was living. I currently work for MORA as a Program Coordinator in one of the residential homes. I'm comfortable working with all levels of personal care needs, and most medical needs. I have worked with people with the following disabilities: Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental/Cognitive or Intellectual Disabilities, Traumatic Brain Injury, ADD/ADHD, ODD, PDD and many others. Vision and Hearing Impairments (know basic sign language).

I am currently working my way towards a Master's in Art Therapy, where I would like to work with people who have disabilities or at risk youth.

I am passionate about bringing art and community activities/opportunities to my clients.

I do work and go to school, but my schedule is only partly set so you can try me for any hours as I may be available, also I work every other weekend but have the other off. Depending on what you are looking for and my work hours five days a week is usually hard for me to get away with.
