Summary
I have over 20 years experience working with children and adults with diverse abilities. From a young age I realized I had a love and abilities to support people with diverse abilities, which is something God instilled deeply in me. Not only did I choose this as a career path but adopted a child with multiple diagnosis. I am looking to move into a school position to better support my children now that they are in school, and hopefully acquire a position I can stay in long term, not only serving children but God as I do so.
