Hi! My name is Daniella Matthews. I am a Senior at the University of Florida Majoring in Education Sciences and Minoring in Disabilities in Society. I am graduating in May 2019 and am looking to work with individuals with disabilities either in a nonprofit setting or in a classroom/educational setting. I have always wanted to help and inspire those in Elementary and Middle School to view education as a positive and look to their teachers as role models. This thought is was pushed for me to want and become an educator.

In my family I have many educators, with many working in the special education field. My grandfather even helped to create the Special Olympics! Through these inspirational people and experiences in my life, I have grown the same passion to bring accessibility to resources and opportunities to those with disabilities.
