I am currently working to obtain my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have a passion for children who have special needs, who need an advocate and someone to help encourage them to go that extra mile. I adhere to the belief that all children are capable, but that some children need to be taught different avenues for tapping into their potential. I tend to be drawn to the children who need a little extra love, time, and attention. Ultimately, I see myself in a position working one on one, serving, and enriching the lives of children with special needs. Specifically, I have the desire to become a BCBA. R E F E R E N C E S
