Throughout my time at OSU, my natural interests have inclined me towards working with children. I have been a daycare provider at two different facilities. I have also been a camp counselor, a Sunday school teacher, and a children’s Bible instructor. Through this variety of experience, I’ve both grown my interest in working with children as well as my skills. This really shapes my interest in eventually going into child welfare as a career. This also shapes my interest in continuing to do research involving the foster care system and the prevention of childhood trauma.
