About

Good Day, I am Shaneeka Jackson from Brooklyn New York. I have my Bachelor's in Psychology and have decided to work towards obtaining my Master's in Communication Disorders-Speech Language Pathology. I have worked with children for over 15 years. I currently work as an Educational Associate (para professional) with children of special needs and have for approximately 7 years. Previously I was employed and have volunteered as a teenager in a day care center. I believe working with children is more of my calling and not just a job.
