I have over four years of experience caring for a child with severe cerebral palsy. Beyond physical care, I focused on keeping her mind active through creative activities, engaging conversation, and regular outings. It was important to me that she felt seen, supported, and valued every single day. Currently, I'm a Language Arts teacher for early middle school students. Teaching has further developed my ability to communicate clearly, adapt to individual needs, and stay patient and grounded in high-energy environments. In my free time, I love reading, studying history, and exploring all that Oregon and Washington have to offer. I'm always looking to learn something new and bring that curiosity and energy into every aspect of my life. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss further.
