Hello! My name is Julia Burns and I am a freshman at the Ohio State University. I am a special education major, and I am very excited to one day get in the classroom. I love working with kids and I have known that I wanted to be an intervention specialist since my freshman year of high school when I volunteered in my school’s Multiple Disabilities Intervention class. I fell in love with the work, and have been excited about a career in special education ever since.

I wanted to be a part of ACES because I want to learn more about how to be a better community member, and a better person in general. I had done a lot of service in high school and I loved it, but I didn’t know much about advocacy or how to make a large-scale positive social change, nor had I really been an avid member of my community. I was really excited to be a part of ACES because I knew that it would help me become a more well rounded person, and one day, a better teacher.
