I'm a college student studying at the University of Iowa. I have experience working with kids of all ages, and abilities, and spent all of my last summer working for Respite and SCL.

I was involved in 4H all throughout my childhood, so I know how to engage kids in activities while simultaneously having them learn.

I'm the oldest child in my family, so I definitely have that 'take care of all of them' mentality. Although I'm not first-aid certified, I have dealt with everything from seizures to small cuts to stomach aches and can stay calm in intense situations.
