During my time in graduate school, I served as a Graduate Research Assistant for both the Tennessee Disability Services Study and Tennessee Disability Pathfinder. On the Tennessee Disability Services Study, I worked alongside a team in the creation, development, and implementation of recruitment and focus group procedures as well as data analysis of both quantitative and qualitative study results. On the Tennessee Disability Pathfinder team, I worked alongside our social media coordinator to create accessible and inclusive content spanning the state of Tennessee.

I previously spent two summers working as a camp counselor for the only therapeutic camp for children with multiple, severe disabilities and medical complexities in the Charleston area. During my time at Pattison's Academy, I worked alongside physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses, and special education teachers to provide our campers with a fun and engaging summer camp experience while working to improve their quality of life. Prior to the start of summer camp, I was trained by nursing staff to give tube feedings and perform safe changes, lifts, and transfers.This opportunity provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals with various sensory and behavioral needs and those who utilize AAC devices. In addition to my camp counselor role and its requirements, I worked alongside the staff to organize and led a variety of small group activities, including baking, science experiments and sensory exploration. In addition to this, I gathered, prepared, operated, and maintained all equipment and supplies necessary for the planned activities, coordinated the daily schedule of activities, and managed transitions to promote a fun, safe and inclusive environment.
