My name is Destiny, I have worked with a variety of different children the last few years all of which had different learning styles. I love learning about every child and love watching them grow. I am very excited to be a part of the school! And to be learning a new role as a special ed para. In my free time I love to spend time with my family. We love to swim in the summer and sit by a nice fire. I also love to crochet :).
