Hello, My name is Deidra. I have been focusing on working in behavioral healthcare. Prior to this, I had focused on building interpersonal skills, networking, and marketing skills in the corporate world. After making the decision to go back to school for behavioral health and social science back in 2021, I have been hoping to find work that supports my long term goals. This past year, my focus has been with children, specifically children with autism and other behavioral/intellectual struggles. I had recently been a paraprofessional working in the public school system, with middle schoolers and high schoolers. I haven't been placed in a school and started to explore new opportunities. I am empathetic, patient, and I love people. I'm a mom of 3 teenagers.
