I have over 6 years of experience as a special education teacher and have worked with children and individuals with diverse needs since I was 12 through babysitting, camps, childcare, and caregiving. I earned my Master's degree in Special Education along with an Autism Certificate, and supporting individuals with different abilities has always been deeply important to me. Growing up alongside my brother who has special needs gave me a strong understanding of the patience, compassion, flexibility, and advocacy that truly make a difference for both individuals and families. I strive to create a safe, supportive, encouraging, and fun environment where people feel comfortable being themselves. I'm 29 years old, love arts and crafts, the beach, Taylor Swift, anything pink, and spending time with my pug, Zoey! I truly believe everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and celebrated exactly as they are!
