I am a recent graduate of Binghamton University with a passion for helping those with developmental disabilities. I majored in biology in my undergraduate studies, but I decided that I would rather pursue a career in childhood education. As such, I will be attending an online MST program in Childhood Education through SUNY Potsdam in the fall of 2023. For the past few years, my mother has worked with children on the autism spectrum in applied behavior analysis and community habilitation, and seeing the joy she has brought to her clients is what inspired me to get into the field. While I don't have any formal work experience in the area, I am patient, understanding, compassionate, and hard-working -- all qualities I believe would make me a great fit for the job.
