My passion for providing direct care to individuals with special needs began with my first babysitting job taking care of my cousin with spina-bifida. Out of highschool, I worked full-time in a residential setting providing services to 4 adults with varying disabilities. I am currently employed through Aptiv, where I assist an age range of youth to seniors with disabilities in reaching their full potential in the community and work settings. On the side, I also coach for Special Olympics.
