I have worked with children in both group and individual settings for over 13 years in both academic and fine arts settings. My experience in psychology makes me a great candidate for positions needing a more thorough understanding of childhood development and special needs. I create both a fun and safe learning environment specialized for each student so that they can reach their true potential.
