Shea Skinner

I am a very outgoing person who works hard at everything I do. If I do not know how to do something, I am a quick learner and I am always up for a challenge. I am a loyal individual, student, and worker. I have been going to school full time since I graduated high school in June 2010 as an honor graduate. I transferred to California State University San Marcos from Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA with an Associate's Degree in Psychology. I will be graduating from San Marcos in December 2014. I am fluent in English and American Sign Language and I know some Spanish. I plan to apply to graduate school at the end of the Fall 2014 semester because I want to pursue a master's degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis so I can specialize in the field of children with autism and other disorders. I have been accepted into the Master's program that will begin in January 2015. I currently work at an after school daycare program that has given me a lot of experience with mainstream children and special needs program. I also work as a Residential Behavior therapist in a group home that applies ABA therapy. I work well with other co-workers, parents, and children. My jobs require a lot of patience and it has helped me help the children in situations. I am CPR and First Aide certified. I am also volunteering in a different school district inside a classroom as a student teacher. I work along side of the elementary school teacher as she is educating me on her job and new experiences.
