Carlie Leflein
Naperville,IL
Summary
My name is Carlie Leflein, and I am set to graduate in May 2024 with a specialization in Early Childhood Special Education. My passion for special education stems from my personal experience with my middle sister, Riley, who has special needs. Observing Riley's growth into young adulthood has profoundly illustrated the critical role a special education teacher plays in the life of a child with special needs. This experience has not only inspired me but has also fueled my determination to pursue a career in special education, aiming to make a significant difference in the lives of children just like my sister.
