My twin brother has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Since I was a young girl, I have always been available to take care of him, babysit on nights and weekends, and determine his wants and needs so that my parents could frequently have a break. I love working with individuals who have disabilities, as well as learning from them. I have just recently obtained my Master's Degree in Special Education this past summer (2017). While I have a lifetime of experience in this field, I have had professional experience for about 8 years (teaching, group homes, home care).
