I have experience working for four years at a camp for people with special needs and challenging illnesses of all varieties. I also have volunteered with a foundation at various camps for kids with epilepsy for 10 years. In addition, my brother has epilepsy, autism, and cerebral palsy. My family has also hosted orphans from Ukraine and recently adopted my youngest brother (who has spina bifida) from there. I am currently a fourth year graduate student studying behavior analysis and hope to continue working with kiddos who have autism once I graduate as I currently do right now. My passion comes from having a brother with special needs. My desire is to help those living with and without special needs to live life to the fullest with as little boundaries as possible.
