South Coast Autism Center where I modeled social<br />
skills for young boys with Autism and learned a lot<br />
more about Autism through observing and interacting<br />
with many children. I am currently interning<br />
with Horizons for Homeless Children where I play<br />
and interact with homeless children in homeless<br />
shelters that have established therapeutic play<br />
spaces. As an undergraduate student, I have also<br />
worked for two professors, Dr. Christina Cipria<strong>no</strong><br />
and Dr. Meredith Dove, on their respective research<br />
studies. Dr. Cipria<strong>no</strong>’s research is on the Recognizing<br />
Excellence in Learning and Teaching (RELATE)<br />
tool for special education classroom observation.<br />
Dr. Dove’s research is on nutrition and physical<br />
activity in childcare settings. My experiences with<br />
children along with the research opportunities at<br />
UMass Dartmouth, have formed my professional<br />
trajectory. Right <strong>no</strong>w I am in the process of preparing<br />
my applications for graduate school and I look<br />
forward to pursuing a career in supporting children<br />
and their families.<br />
