I graduated in 2015 from the University of Northern Iowa and received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. I am currently attending UNI to get my Master's in Special Education. I enjoy working with kids, helping them learn, and making learning fun. I have experience working with children on the Autism Spectrum, and am doing my Master's research on Autism. In the past, I have babysat for a family of 3 children, ranging from 10 months to 5 years old. I also did Respite Care with a child with nonverbal autism. I volunteer at schools to help assist children who need extra help, and I have been babysitting my nephew since he was born one year ago. I enjoy reading, crocheting, singing, and spending time outside. I love incorporating the arts into my teaching, and try to make lessons that meet the interests and needs Read more of my students. I like stepping out of the box and finding ways to help children learn and grow.
