When I was 15 I babysat for an 8-year-old girl with CP, not realizing my passion for helping individuals of all ages that face challenges. I went on to become an ESL/Special Education teacher in CT, leaving to return to school for my Master's in Counseling. After completing my degree I worked with women and their families who were DV victims. There I developed the children's program and mentoring program. A few years later an opportunity to work at a Behavioral Clinic was presented. I worked there 10 years, overseeing a program for people who had a mental health diagnosis and often substance abuse. Sprinkle private tutoring and my outgoing personality with compassion for all, I may be the ideal candidate for your family situation.
