My Story
I was originally born in Lithuania and have now lived in Chicago for the past 16 years. I am very passionate about working with children and have been an early childhood teacher for 5 years. I am also fascinated by psychology and how the mind works, as well as how its function varies depending on the individual. I completed my Bachelors in psychology and sociology and love to study different methods of therapy. I am very excited to have a chance to play a positive role in the lives of the children at Blue Bird Day and to learn more about each one of them.
My Blue Bird Day
Working at Blue Bird Day will be a new experience for me, and I really look forward to supporting the company’s mission of helping children reach their full potential through individualized therapeutic care.
My Advocacy
I am a strong advocate for mental health care, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and support organizations such as Best Buddies.
My Blue Bird Day Goals
- I look forward to working as a therapeutic assistant and hope to earn a Master’s degree in the near future in this related field.
