As a speech-language pathologist, I have had students and babysat children with a variety of needs. Many of my students have a diagnosis of Autism, Downs Syndrome, PICA, and Cerebral Palsy. In my free time, I have volunteered at a book club for adults with special needs. I am passionate about advocating for those who have difficulty or cannot advocate for themselves.

    Daja is absolutely the best! Can't say enough wonderful things about her. She is sweet-natured, patient, mature, dependable and creative. Daja thoughtfully crafted activities for our active, autistic, non-verbal son to keep him engaged and happy with very limited access to his usual places this summer.
