Summary


As a child, I was diagnosed with multiple health issues, causing me to develop a desire to help other kids like me in adulthood. I am aspiring to go to Occupational Therapy school once I finish my undergraduate in psychology. Currently I am a physical therapy aide, but am looking to potentially become a Registered Behavior Technician to gain some experience in that type of environment.
