= = = = =Aid at The Bear School= I have been an aid/volunteer at The Bear School for 6 years. The Bear School is a school for special needs students in Baltimore City. I have worked with students with all types of disabilities and learning abilities. I mainly worked in the art classrooms teaching students how to use art as a type of therapy. Through this experience I have learned patience and how to adapt to different types of learners.

=Counselor at The Sky is The Limit Summer Camp= I have been a lead camper, junior counselor, and counselor at The Sky is the Limit Summer Camp for 5 years. This summer camp is a camp open to special needs children. The goal of the camp is to bring children of all types together and to use theatre as a type of therapy. I have done everything there from working one-on-one with campers, to leading full group lessons. This has taught me how to work in an inclusive environment. I know how to adjust my plans for certain students and how to get everyone to work as a cohesive group.

=Lacrosse Coach= I coached girls recreational lacrosse for 3 years. Being a coach, I worked on building skills, creating a team atmosphere, and encourage my players. This has taught me the importance of being a role model. I know that my girls looked up to me so I tried to be the person I asked them to be.
