I've spent several years in the field of service work, being employed as both a paraprofessional and a behavior therapist. I am also involved in the social advocacy field, and have concentrated my English degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in social justice. I spent my senior year of college interning at a nonprofit foundation, where I worked as a communications and grantmaking intern. Currently, I am the Clinical Program Coordinator at Vinfen's Gateway Arts- an artist employment program which serves people with disabilities.
