Hi! My name is Zara, and I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Michigan majoring in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience. I plan to apply to medical school this May and hope to pursue a career working with children and families. I have over four years of experience caring for kids in a variety of settings. I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor and gymnastics coach, and I currently work as a behavior technician at an autism center, as well as a research assistant at Michigan Medicine supporting pediatric-focused studies. I’m CPR certified and passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child. I love helping kids learn, grow, and discover the world around them — whether that’s through play, homework help, or everyday routines. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with. I’d love the Read more opportunity to support your family however I can!
