" When a child gives you a gift, even if it is a rock, they just picked up, excuse gratitude it might be the only thing they have to give, and they have chosen to give it to you."
~Dean Jackson
"Don't give up. I believe in you all. A person's a person no matter how small."

Philosophy of Education
I believe education is one of the most important tools a person can have in life. I believe every child should receive the best education possible, regardless of special needs. I have taught students with special needs for five years, whether it is just being an assistant teacher, tutor, or an after school/summer camp teacher in the classroom. It has always been my passion to help each child to discover their full gifts and talents and to reach for the stars! All children carry special gifts inside of them. As a Special Education teacher and advocate I believe that anyone who works with children who have special needs has the responsibility to identify those gifts since they often go unseen.
About Me
I am currently studying Special Education at Grandvalley State University and will graduate 2017. I love making crafts, taking pictures, and just about anything else that is crafty or that stands out. I would love to have my own class some day and bring knowledge to everyone who walks through my door. I have tutored at elementary schools in the Grand Rapids area. As you will see on my resume I have worked at numerous places but loved every place that I have worked at. I have worked at my community college as a tutor for special needs students, a reading and math tutor at a nearby elementary school, and at Starz Academy for the summer as a summer camp lead teacher. I currently no longer work at these places because of school and moving away. I now currently work at Rainbow Child Care Center as an after school assistant teacher.
