Hello! I graduated with a BA in Special Education from Boston University, and hold a masters degree from UMass Boston and a teaching license in Moderate Disabilities, grades 5-12. I work at Perkins School for the Blind as a teacher for deafblind students. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals with disabilities and typically developing children in various settings, including inclusive classrooms, ABA settings as a Registered Behavior Technician, specialized school settings, recreational programming, babysitting, summer camps, respite, and as a personal care attendant. While working with this population, I strive to provide the best care possible while also maintaining a fun and welcoming environment. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I really appreciate your consideration!
