Summary
Growing up I have always wanted to help people, just didn't know how yet. Growing up with a special needs step brother I knew that this was going to be my passion. I have always wanted to work with children with disabilities. When it comes to special needs, there is not a lot of help in the world. I want to help individuals live their day to day life despite any disabilities. I want to make a difference in this field one day.
