I started working with special needs as a camp counselor. During that time, I met a girl with autism who really made an impact on me. I was already majoring in Park and Recreation Management, but after that summer, I decided to add a major in Therapeutic Recreation. I have always enjoyed working with kids from babysitting my cousins to working for the YMCA. Since that summer, I have felt working with children with special needs as my calling.
