About

I am currently working as a substitute teacher with the Special School District of St. Louis County. I have interned at various nonprofit organizations and am very interested in becoming a program director/service coordinator for an organization that involves lots of hands on interactions with kids with disabilities. I am passionate about developing programs, providing services, resources, and recreational activities for the people of this specific population.

My major focused on public health issues as well as prevention. I studied public health in all different types of populations, research methods, ethics of health, many leadership styles, and successful ways to work as a team. My minor is shaped toward the nonprofit sector, specifically working with individuals with disabilities of all ages. I would like to be involved with developing/creating recreational programs, offering classes, as well as running/planning special events. Activities and Societies: Sigma Kappa, National Honors Society
