Goals and interests

Career goal

I love working with children and their families specifically with families who have children with special abilities. I currently work at an ABA center but I am open to exploring other work settings while working with the same population such as in the school district or in ECI (early childhood intervention) services.

Graduate school interests

I have recently started working at a lab on campus doing research which combines two of my favorite topics- child development and health/ nutrition

Outside the classroom

I like to paint, try new recipes, travel and take pictures!
