About

I will graduate with my BA in Psychology in the late spring of 2017. My goal is to use my knowledge and studies to write children's books from their perspective in regards to sensory disorders, ADD/ADHD, autism, and other exceptional attributes that set them apart during their crucial development years. My work history has been with the USAF working with the children of our service members as well as working with a grant-based program that re-houses homeless veterans. Both of these experiences have led me to aspire to obtain a degree in psychology, which will greatly enhance my ability to write and share with children and families about the inner-workings of the various diagnoses in current times and the challenges they face both academically and socially.
