Taylor Patterson

I graduated from Clinton Community High School in spring of 2011, and started at Richland that fall. I spent three years at Richland, receiving two Associates Degrees. I spent so long there and took so many different classes because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I took some time off of school after that to help my mom with her daycare business while she was receiving treatment for cancer. In 2016 I was told that I would make a great teacher's aide, so I applied at the local school district and got a job. I started in a blended and self-contained preschool. After doing that for two years I moved to the elementary school. I now work as an aide in a behavior/emotional disorder classroom. I am finishing up my BS in developmental therapy, I will be done in the summer. After that I'm going on to get my masters in ABA, so that I can be a BCBA and a behavior specialist.
