Edgewood College
From Ames, IA

As a future child life specialist, I strive to support the healthy development of those in lifes tough and adverse situations. I am an experienced caregiver who is passionate about working with children and their families, but I am also able to skillfully navigate a business and office setting. Part of my passion for child life comes from being born with a mystery illness and spending years trying to diagnose it, but I also worked with a child with extremely special needs all throughout high school and was his primary home health aide. I work hard and let my experience, maturity, and enthusiasm speak for itself.
