Summary
I am currently a college freshman at Triton College in River Grove, Illinois. I work as a children's care attendant, where I assist in supervising children ranging from the ages of 3 months to 12 years old. I am a Speech Language Pathology major and I am minoring in psychology. From my past experiences, I have gravitated towards environments surrounded by children and am motivated by the idea of aiding kids in their social and mental development.
