Why are you passionate about the Clinic?
I am passionate about the clinic because when searching for a job, I came across the Clinic and its mission to serve the Plain Community. I grew up in Lancaster, so I have always been surrounded by the Plain Community. This job stood out to me and drew me in because I knew that my work would be helping the Plain community, and I could directly see the impact it had. When I graduated from college, I was unsure of what I wanted to do specifically with my degree. However, I was sure that I wanted to help individuals as much as I could. After meeting the staff at the Clinic for Special Children, I determined that this would be the perfect fit for me!
