Education
At a fairly young age I had a real love for arts and crafts I love making things with my hands and would use anything I could get to create with even the clay we would fined in the little creek by our house. I never did well in grade school except for art , music and physical education. I managed to get through high school with average grades and felt confident enough to go on to college . I earned a 2 year creative arts diploma from Georgian College and then went on to continue my education and received a 2 year diploma in Developmental services work. Having an arts background is a great benefit when working with certain developmentally delayed individuals.
