I'm a recent graduate of UMass Amherst, where I studied Public Health Sciences and Human Nutrition. I am especially interested in special needs, as I have very much enjoyed my role as a Personal Care Attendant to a bubbly young woman with cerebral palsy for the last three summers and school breaks. Growing up as one of four girls has contributed to my easygoing nature while also compelling me to be an independent self-starter. I work hard to proactively anticipate the needs of others and to provide compassionate, responsive care and companionship.
