I have worked full-time as a Child Development Specialist at The Bradley Center for the past 2 years. This facility specializes in trauma counseling for children with mental, emotional, intellectual, and behavioral disabilities. I have worked with children diagnosed with a variety of disorders such as: anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar, autism, RAD, ADHD, and more. I am extremely passionate about advocating for children with special needs, especially those who have not received the proper love and care they deserve. I thoroughly enjoy working in a residential treatment facility, although it can be very intense and strenuous at times. I believe that working one-on-one with children who have special needs would be a highly rewarding experience, and I have confidence in my ability to well in such a position.
