I'm a 23-year-old former sushi chef. Ex culinary arts major turned psychology during undergrad. Currently I am in the last year of my master's program in social work. I used to work as a behavioral aide, assisting adults with mental disabilities and TBI. Then went on to be a behavioral technician and substitute teacher in special education. This is where I was able to interact with a wide berth of children from individuals in wheelchairs to assisting EI elementary students with their big emotions. Thus, I have worked with individuals who have violent behaviors such as scratching, spitting, and biting mostly. Due to these experiences I am now well versed in de-escalation techniques and preventative steps. Throughout my journey with the neurodivergent I have assisted with things such as med distribution, bathing, transportation, education, ABA therapy, and meal prep. In addition, I spent a year studying abroad in Japan and am now fluent in conversational Japanese.
