About

My major area of study was Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Gerontology and a work concentration in Pre-OT. After graduating, I worked as a special education assistant teacher in an public elementary school setting. This experience contributed to my desire to pursue my Masters in Special Education and obtain a professional teaching license in special education.
