Summary

I am currently a senior at American University, majoring in Musical Theater and minoring in Special Education, with an expected graduation date of May 2023. I have worked with children every summer, teaching them theater, music, and more for nearly a decade. I founded an organization called Seams of Hope in 2014, where I make blankets for children with cancer, and have reached nearly 200 families worldwide. I love working with children and volunteering. My best friend in elementary school had autism, and it fueled my drive to work with students with special needs. I truly adore working with children and adolescents, in fields from theater education to medical support to studies in special education, with a hopeful future in this field.
