Summary

Hello, my name is Madelyn Cotton. I am currently a Junior at LSU with a major of Child and Family Sciences. I have experience working/helping individuals with special needs during my freshman year of High Scool. I helped them with learning activities, small workouts, walking laps around the school grounds, puzzles. While spending time with these individuals, I got to see how they all had different social interactions, how their minds worked, and unique talents. After experiencing those moments, I gained an even more interest of working with individuals with special needs and getting to interact with them to learn more about them.

As a highly motivated and goal-driven individual, I strive to keep pushing forward and achieving my goals. I am all about team work and working with others in ways that we all reach success. Communication stands as one of my top strengths because communication is important when getting information out to others around you. Additionally, I uphold a strong skill set of creativity when it comes to thinking outside the box for ideas. With that, I believe I would be a great fit for this role.
