Bio
Hello! I was born in California, but I've also lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona, and now Washington! From 2014-2016, I worked as an instructional assistant in California for the Clovis Unified School District in one of their autism programs. It was during that time I discovered my love for working with kids, and a heart for speech and language. I decided to go back to school and pursue a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I have been an SLPA for two years, and I'm happy to be a part of the Beautiful Autism team!
Education:
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders with teaching intent.
