Hi there! I'm a former special education teacher with 15 years of classroom experience who recently made the decision to step away to be more present for my two daughters, ages 8 and 9. While I loved my time in schools, I'm now looking to continue the work I'm passionate about--supporting individuals with special needs--in a more flexible, one-on-one setting. I hold a master's degree in Autism Spectrum Disorder and am currently pursuing my BCBA certification. My heart is in helping individuals thrive through trusting relationships, predictable routines, and meaningful life skills. I believe deeply in the value of every person and work to support each individual's unique strengths and challenges. Outside of education and family, I enjoy reading, traveling, playing the piano, and keeping up with current trends. I bring a calm, consistent presence to the people I support, and I'm excited to partner with families who are looking for compassionate, personalized care.
