Hi there! I've always had a passion for working with individuals who have special needs. Growing up with a brother on the autism spectrum taught me early on how to connect with and understand people with intellectual and developmental differences. For the past year, I've had the privilege of working closely with an individual with Down syndrome, and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Supporting others in reaching their fullest potential, while celebrating their unique personalities, is truly close to my heart. In addition to getting my CNA certificate almost 9 years ago, working in hospital, long term, and home health settings. I believe I can bring a lot to the table! I look forward to working with you!
