ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The experience of having my own children and raising them on my own may qualify me for more than the

minimum of two years of working with children, although for children with disabilities in specific, I have five years

in that field. It has been some time since I was actually doing hands on work with those types of children, but in

the mean time I have been working on a bachelor's degree intermingled with pauses due to life circumstances.

Each time I have fallen back on education as a way to pave the future with the skills I have, I become more

and more intrigued by the behavioral sciences, research discoveries and new techniques and theories in the

field of psychology. I would love to grow with this company!
