I am an Occupational Therapy student from Stony Brook University seeking part-time employment as a special needs personal assistant. As a future OT, I would love to gain some experience working directly with kids or adults with special needs, so that I can learn how to best meet their needs! I have prior experience working as a one-to-one aide for individuals with disabilities. I also worked in a children's hospital during my time at the University of Michigan pursuing my bachelor's degree. These experiences have made me passionate about pediatrics and caring for individuals with a wide variety of diagnoses. I look forward to bringing the skills I have learned to any new jobs that come my way!
