When I was 18 I got a job being a residential counselor at a group home for special needs kids, this is where I realised I wanted to work and help people in anyway I could. There is no greater feeling then know what I'm doing actually makes a difference in someone's life. After moving on from that job I began working with a gentleman with short term memory loss For a few years. In 2011 I went on my own and began Working with another gentleman, that need a hand With just about every daily need. I have done many different classes and certifications, I am also going to school to be a kindergarten / special education teacher.
