In high school, I volunteered at our local Friendship House, which housed adults with disabilities. We would do a lot of fun events, such as bowling, crafting, driving around, and having pizza parties! In college, I worked as a behavioral line therapist for over 2 years, and I also was a part-time caregiver for a 27 yr old male who had severe autism. He was able to find the joy in simplicity and everyday living, and it made me a better person. I also have a degree in special education, and have a lot of experience in the classroom with students who have disabilities. I have always enjoyed building relationships with people of all different abilities and their quirks, and I love getting to be apart of their lives.
