A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ali, I'm 23 years old, from Utah, and am graduating with my Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders this December (2024). I come from a family of 7 (5 kids) and grew up babysitting my own siblings and many families in my community.
I love being with kids and can't wait to have a family of my own someday:)
I have also always loved working with individuals who have special needs, and have taken many opportunities over the past 8 years to volunteer in the special needs community, which has provided me with many wonderful and life-changing experiences.
