A Bit About Me
Howdy! My name is Rebekah! I am from Houston, TX, and currently live in Buffalo Center, Iowa. I have a family of two plus a dog, Roxie and a cat, Joan Jett. I am an individual that has not let the challenge of autism slow me down. My passion for helping students with different abilities lead me to become an educator and advocator for these amazing children. I graduated from Texas A&M University-College Station in December 2021. I received a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Special Education. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring children on how to reach their highest quality of their abilities emotionally, physically, and mentally.
