I have been passionate about individuals with disabilities since I was in high school. Throughout my 4 years of college, I worked at a non-profit organization during summer camp and after school programs. I led an after school dance program for children. During my three summers I worked with all ages of individuals and a variety of disabilities such as down syndrome, autism, TBIs, cerebral palsy, and many others. I feel adequate in working with all kinds of individuals over a wide spectrum of disabilities. I am so passionate about this field and I am currently attending grad school with hopes of becoming an occupational therapist. I have spent more than 1000 volunteer hours working with this population. I love building relationships with all individuals and I also love getting to know their families. I am willing to interview and provide references and recommendations!
