Briefly, describe your career path.
|
I am currently a sophomore in the Inclusive Early Childhood Program at Bowling Green State
University. I aspire to establish a licensure in early childhood regular and special education with
the training to be an early intervention specialist. After graduation I plan to teach in the
Cleveland area while furthering my education. I plan to further my education with a master’s
program at Kent State or Cleveland State to become an administrator, then to open up a group
home for children with special needs.

What are you passionate about in your work/school?
|
I am very passionate about children as whole. I love working with young children and
inspiring them. I am especially passionate about children with special needs, working with them, seeing
their potential through, and fighting for a quality education for them. Lastly I am passionate about my
impact on the world. I just want to make a difference where a difference is needed.
|
Where is your career headed?
|
I plan to help teach and lead the children of greater Cleveland and ultimately create better
school and home environments for children with special needs. Though I am in school for
education it is because I love working with children and due to the many certifications I will
receive with my dual major I will have many possibilities for career outcomes. However I do
know that I will work with young children in some aspect.

How has your Concept Schools experience helped shape your success?
|
Concept Schools prepared be for college in so many ways. I had a few teachers that held me to
exceptional standards to pull out my highest potential. I was offered PSEOP classes which
allowed me to get a head start and see what college education was actually like. I also took
various AP courses that allowed me to gain a plentiful amount of college-level information.
Lastly the amount of support and resources that have been provided to me through the Alumni
network since graduation has been extremely helpful.
