I am passionate about finding ways to connect with children of all abilities and believe it is important to create an environment that meets the physical, social and emotional needs of each child in order for them to reach their full potential. I have 10+ years of experience working with children and young adults including 3 years experience working in a variety of settings with special needs population including; Behavior Intervention (ABA) services in home, community and school settings, caregiver, 1:1 instructional aide and physical, speech and occupational therapist aide for high school age severely disabled. I aim to build strong connections and long lasting relationships with all of the children, young adults, families and professionals I work with.
