I have 10 years of hands-on experience with special needs care (5 years on the books as a paid professional, plus years of volunteer work), and I bring an Executive Functioning coaching lens, specializing in autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, anxiety, and depression. I'm finishing my B. S. in Early Childhood Education, minor in Psychology. As a Teacher's Aide, I supported kids with individualized needs in a structured classroom, handling behavior redirection and one-on-one attention, helping them build routines and push through tough transitions and meltdowns. As a Direct Support Professional, I've helped adults with disabilities with bathing, dressing, hygiene, and meal prep, and I design individualized routines that break big tasks into clear, manageable steps, the same core skill behind strong EF coaching. I build real connections with the people I care for, not just tasks. I check in daily, get to know them, and notice when someone is struggling so I can calmly help them through it all
