Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me. I started at the age of 13 (now 40) working at a summer camp for children and adults with a variety of special needs for many years. After camp, I continued my career in the same field, working as a direct care staff, job coach and residential manager. I am also a parent of a 16-year-old boy with special needs. I understand the daily struggles and accomplishments that we experience. I would be happy to share more of my experiences with you!
