I have a BS from Tulane with a double major focusing on psychology, language, and cognition, and I am studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling at William & Mary (online). The scope of my work entails assisting allied health professionals, reinforcing therapeutic goals in fluid daily scenarios, running a caregiving team, mobility assistance, companionship, advocacy, education, hygiene, and transportation. Aside from attendance and caregiving, I've also worked as an ABA therapist and interned in a pediatric rehab clinic. Personally, I have a beloved family member with a debilitating neuropsychological disorder, and I cared for my mom who had ALS. These experiences have shown me firsthand how illness and injury can affect oneself and one's family in both apparent and nuanced ways. Your (or your loved one's) needs, safety, autonomy, and well-being are my top priority, and I look forward to building long-term, caring relationships in my work.
