I have a strong passion for working with those with Special Needs. I love being around them and serving them in any way that I can. I want to be an advocate for their needs. I currently work at TURN Community Services and love the experience I am gaining there. I desire to be a Support Coordinator for Special Needs adults upon graduating from school. This website will show my interactions with Special Olympics Utah and prove my involvement with the special needs community.
