About
Hello I'm Mary! I am a double major in Elementary and Special Education with a wide knowledge in special needs. My brother who has Autism inspired me to become a Special Education teacher. Through him I received my job at Community Support Services where I work as a primary advocate for my department.
My passion lies in working with children and those individuals who have special needs. My dream is to one day receive a Master's degree in either Autism Spectrum Disorders, Counseling, or Administration. I want to be a positive impact in the lives of children and make a difference.
