About Mary

My expertise in special education extends beyond academic training, encompassing valuable hands-on experiences gained through volunteering at Bayside Children's Ministries (9/2022 to present). Engaging with individuals of all abilities in teaching, arts & crafts, playground activities, and story reading has deepened my understanding of diverse learning styles and behavioral needs, honing my ability to adapt and cater to individual needs. As a parent, I uniquely contribute to caregiving, blending personal insight with my academic and volunteer background. This dual perspective allows me to connect with families on a deeper level, understanding the intricacies of fostering a supportive and enriching environment. This comprehensive approach, combining professional expertise and personal experience, enables me to tailor my caregiving approach to meet both the developmental and emotional needs of each individual.
