I am currently a physical therapy graduate student, with the end goal of becoming a pediatric PT. I have my BS in Exercise Science and a minor in Special Education. One of my passions is working with children and adults with special needs. As the oldest child, I grew up with two much younger sisters, including one with Williams Syndrome, so I have always been very comfortable with children of all ages and abilities. Along with lots of past babysitting experience, I am a dance teacher who leads numerous weekly dance classes for children ages 18 months- 12 years. I have also worked as a counselor at an overnight summer camp for children and adults with special needs for the past seven summers. I work with kiddos of all abilities through my PT clinical experiences. I really enjoy the creativity, imagination and fun that goes along with working with kids and adults! I look forward to working with your family to provide a fantastic care experience!
