About

As a current student of PACE's graduate school, I am enthused to be enrolled in the Childhood Education Program for Students with Disabilities in grades 1-6. Success is determined by your will to stay motivated and your drive towards achievement. I believe it is every person's duty to reach success in whichever field they desire. With aspirations to cultivate lives and leave my mark on the world of education, success is the only option.
