Health Scientist, Educator, and Education Blogger

Hello everyone, my name is Srishti Tawakley. I am 25 years old and I am a Health Scientist, Special Educator, and Education Blogger. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Health Science in 2018. And I graduated with my Masters Degree in Special Education with a focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities in 2020. I was born in Delhi, India but moved to the United States when I was 3. I live in CA with my parents and younger sister who is now in college. In my free time I like to listen to music or watch movies or tv shows mainly Hindi. I have much work experience working with children with special needs both in the United States and in India. 

Some of my work experiences include working in a summer school for children with Special Needs in the summer of 2014, right after graduating from high school. I also worked in two different Special Education Centers in India from 2018 – 2019 in the 1.5 years that I lived there after graduating from college. When I was working in India, not only did I help children with special needs academically, but I also provided vocational training in one of the centers that I worked at. Additionally, I also put together some curriculums for students. As for the summer school that I worked at in the United States, I taught mainly academics. Currently I work for the Sunnyvale School District. 

I do hope to return to India at some point in life and continue working with children with special needs and eventually start my own school or center where Special Education Services can be provided. I am very passionate about my work in the Special Education Field and love seeing students succeed!
