I have hands-on experience supporting individuals with special needs in both clinical and residential settings. My background includes working with children and adolescents diagnosed with developmental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. In my role as a Mental Health Aide and Residential Care Worker, I provided individualized care plans, de-escalation support, and daily living assistance while fostering a safe, empathetic, and structured environment. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to support treatment goals and educational accommodations. My approach emphasizes patience, respect, and empowering individuals to reach their highest potential.
