About Leah

Hi! Over the years, I have developed a strong passion for working with children. For seven years, I was a volunteer baton twirling coach; teaching girls ages 6-18 how to twirl and eventually bringing them to local and state competitions to compete. I graduated from University at Buffalo with a BA in Speech and Hearing Sciences and Spanish. For three years I was a Teaching Assistant in an Early Childhood Center, working with children five months to four years of age. Through this I have completed several trainings. I had the opportunity to work in a therapeutic school with children with ASD; receiving an ABA certification to provide behavioral therapy. Along with this, I have been babysitting since 2016 with children ages three months to 13 years old. All of these experiences, along with tutoring, camp counseling and working in a research lab studying child language disorders, have helped to show me my love of working with children.
