When I was 15 years old my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. She was such a pillar for me in my life and truly my best friend. I helped care for her often and am so glad that I had the opportunity to do so. Fast forward 13 years and I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. It completely turned my life upside down. I was lucky to get diagnosed quickly and start treatment. I swore once I was better I would help others who needed help just like I did. After healing from Lyme I got hired at a school for children with special needs. I was an assistant teacher to children ages 1-4. Being their teacher was beyond rewarding and it filled me with so much joy to watch the children hit their milestones. I also volunteered at a therapeutic riding facility for children and adults with special needs. I aided them in their riding lessons, mounting, and dismounting the horses. Seeing my rider's mobility and balance improve each ride was something truly amazing. I love helping improve other's lives; there's really nothing more rewarding. I also have three amazing kids!
