Description

HI, everyone!

I'm a special education teacher- mentor with 13 years of work experience with people with special needs. I'm creative in teaching curriculums, inventing didactic toys and learning materials, creative in art and craft, recycling, inventing new games and fun activities for younger and older people. I've been working mostly with students with autism and gained experience in behavior management, individual approach, sensory stimulation, visual teaching, communication for nonverbal students etc. I also finished Montessori education for Toddlers 0-3 and Montessori preschool program 3-6. After I took some classes in Neuroscience I new this is the next big thing in my life. Currently I'm working on a thesis and planning to apply to Neuroscience PhD programs all over the world.

Beside this, I have experience in working in the hostel, restaurant, kitchen, kindergarten, housekeeping, cooking, gardening...basically, assisting and helping in various tasks.

Most of my free time I spend dancing- breakdance, playing different sports- volleyball, soccer, swimming, jogging, going to gym, climbing, cycling... you name it.

I'm curious about the world and I'm very much human-oriented, so I plan to travel as much as possible. I've already visited some Europian countries such as UK, Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Bulgaria, Montenegro, France, Spain, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, but also I spent some time in US (NYC Boston, Chicago and Detroit).

I like middle ground, balance, deals, fair play and chances. ;)
