I am currently working as a paraprofessional at a Special Needs School. I am currently in a classroom with 4-7-year-olds, last year was 9-12. I am beginning to take courses to complete my Master's Degree in Severe Disabilities and get my teaching license. Previously, I worked as a Developmental Specialist in Early Intervention with children ages 0-3 with special needs. I loved both of my jobs and thoroughly enjoy working with and helping children reach their potential. I love seeing children succeed and thrive in their own special way. I enjoy being able to help them learn in a unique way. I've worked with many medically, physically, and developmentally impaired children and feel comfortable working with each of them.
