Professional Summary I have extensive experience managing group homes in the Connecticut area for adults with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries under the oversight of the Connecticut Department of Mental Retardation (DMR). My responsibilities included implementing activities of daily living programs, setting achievable client goals, serving as a medical liaison between residents, nursing staff, and physicians, and supervising residential staff to ensure quality care and compliance. I was trained as a lay responder in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I instructed agency staff in these areas. I also maintained annual certification in medication administration. My passion for caregiving was inspired early in life, watching my mother care for my 17-year-old brother after he sustained a brain injury in a car accident. This experience shaped my lifelong dedication to providing compassionate, person-centered care to others in need.
