Hello! I have a passion for people of all ages, cognitive abilities, and demographics. My specialty is teaching social, emotional skills to some who may have some behavioral challenges. I am an expert data collector along with multiple training certifications for deescalation. I have experience within a self contained classroom as well as in home, facilitating ABA therapeutic activities. I currently hold a CPR/ First aid certification, AZ fingerprint card, ASPEN deescalation certificate, and AZ Article 9 certification. I am an artist who loves creating and finding new ways to explore the world! I have been fortunate to have over 10 years of professional experience in related occupations and over 30 years of personal experience with individuals with various disabilities. Being a positive influence for others in today's world is imperative, which is why I use grace and compassion to teach. Thank you for your time and consideration as I am available as soon as this upcoming week!
