I have over 8 years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities, and it's the population I'm most passionate about supporting. I volunteered with Friendship Circle for 8 years, building meaningful relationships with children through recreational activities and individualized support. I also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one ABA therapy to children with autism. In addition, I've nannied for children with autism, giving me experience supporting families in a home setting. I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in School Counseling at DePaul University. I strive to create a patient, supportive, and fun environment where every child feels safe, understood, and valued. I'd especially love to continue working with autistic children and helping them thrive!
