Summary
I naturally find myself inspired by neurodiverse children that must put in extra effort to meet educational goals easily met by peers. I also enjoy the task of investigating and addressing variables that keep a child from meeting their educational goals. My current objective is to complete my practicum and internship with the Ford County Special Education Cooperation. My ultimate intent is to become a School Psychologist in Illinois.
