I have a strong passion for working with children and teens with special needs, and I bring both experience and compassion to the families I serve. I've volunteered in my church supporting children with unique challenges, and I've had the privilege of working directly with families whose children live with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, mental health conditions, and other special needs. Currently, I am studying psychology in college, which has given me a deeper understanding of coping skills and strategies that help in moments of distress or worry. I approach each child with patience, kindness, and an open heart, always eager to learn new techniques that best support their individual needs. My goal is to help every child feel valued, capable, and empowered to achieve their dreams. I believe in creating an environment where children feel a true sense of belonging, encouragement, and joy.
