I am a behavioral aide at a local elementary school for students on the Autism spectrum. I work in both the learning support and traditional classrooms. I have been doing this for about two years now and love every second of it. I am going back to school to get my Masters in special education. I am also an assistant coach for the Lower Merion boys varsity ice hockey team. I am CPR and NCI certified. I also have all clearances (criminal background check, FBI fingerprint, child abuse clearance) needed to work with children. I love to read, play all kinds of sports (grew up playing ice hockey) and love being outside exploring. I'm a pretty big nerd as well and use my love for superheroes, Harry Potter, Star Wars and many other things to connect with people.
