I grew up in a home with two siblings with special needs. From that perspective I know how hard it is to trust anyone to treat special needs children with love and care. I worked during the summers at a sleep away camp for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I learned many valuable care giving skills there. I am currently a graduate with a BSW degree at SCSU. Working with people with special needs is my life's passion.
