I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2018 and during my time there I worked at a day habilitation center that assisted adults with disabilities. My time there challenged me in many different ways, teaching me to think quickly on my feet. I am extremely passionate when it comes to working for those with special needs because I love to help out in every way possible, and seeing the smiles on their faces always makes the challenges worth it. Post college I have worked as a kindergarten teacher for the last seven years. During my summers and after school I spent as a nanny and house keeper for multiple families. I took on responsibilities such as driving the children around, running errands, cleaning and organizing the homes.
