Moving forward I'm looking to specialize in working with autistic/special needs folks. I have had the privilege of working with autistic children and young adults and find it incredibly gratifying. I believe I am a very good candidate for anyone looking for a 1:1 caregiver for their autistic and/ or special needs child. I graduated with a BA in Social Work with a double minor in Art and Art Therapy. I'm hoping to get my masters and focus in clinical social work becoming a therapist and working with children who have faced trauma and/or have behavioral or intellectual learning disabilities. I have basic ASL skills
