I have a special place in my heart for individuals with special needs. My uncle has special needs and has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the importance of creating a supportive environment. In high school, I participated in a buddy program where I was paired with students with disabilities, and I also spend time with a child with Down syndrome whom my best friend babysits. We love going to the beach and playing together. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and I strive to make everyone feel safe, valued, and included.
