Though I'm currently in a grad program for Occupational Therapy, my love for this work has spanned at least 6 years back. I used to teach Lego Robotics and Programming classes for kids. However, after experience at a residential for special needs and the time I've spent with dear friends with special needs, I found myself more invested that direction. My passion is to see restoration, build self-motivation and hope in people I work with. I've worked with a variety of people and have learned something unique from every one, because every one has a story to tell.
