Hi! I'm a college student majoring in special education with plans to become a special education teacher. I currently work as a paraprofessional at an elementary school, where I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities, including children with autism and other special needs. Working with kids is something I'm genuinely passionate about, and it's what I want to build my future around. I've also coached youth basketball, so I enjoy keeping kids active, helping them learn new things, and making sure they're having fun. I'm patient, caring, responsible, and understand that every child is different. I believe in taking the time to get to know each child, understand their needs, and create an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can count on, I always try to make a positive difference in their day!
