Having grown up with a younger brother who has Down syndrome, I have real life experience in the care and needs of people with disabilities. I am a compassionate person who is patient and genuinely loves to help people with special needs in any way I can. Aside from having personal family experience, I worked at Center for Creative Works in Wynnewood, PA, where I was an art instructor and provided community outreach to adults with a wide variety of special needs. I also was an ABA therapist for a young girl who had cerebral palsy. I provided her with one on one support throughout her day at school, while collecting data that helped her parents track her progress.
