Why did you choose a career in helping children with autism?
When I was in high school, I participated in Unified Fitness, and I absolutely loved being able to help my classmates. It was so rewarding to watch them celebrate their achievements in class. I made so many new relationships I wouldn’t have made if I had not joined the class.
Why NECC?
I chose to work here after a staff member from NECC came to my college and shared the great opportunities that were available for the students and staff.
Have you taken advantage of any of the grad programs or teacher training at NECC? If so, how has it affected your teaching style?
I am currently enrolled in the Simmons University graduate program working towards my master’s degree in education. This program has opened my eyes to new ways of helping my students with both academics and behaviors.
