Hello, hello! I recently graduated from Columbia University Medical Center with my M. S. in Occupational Therapy. I have significant experience working with children, as I've nannied, babysat, and worked in several after-school programs with children aged anywhere from 2 to 14. I can also provide tutoring services for math, writing, and reading. I also have significant experience working with both children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome & more. I'm a very upbeat and energetic person who loves to be around other people! I am very passionate about helping others and hope to go into a career field with both children and adults with special needs. As for hobbies, I love photography, painting, drawing, reading, hiking, and films!
