I have extensive experience working with individuals with special needs through my roles as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and a Personal Care Assistant (PCA). In these positions, I supported clients with diverse developmental, cognitive, and physical needs. My responsibilities included implementing care plans, assisting with daily living tasks, documenting progress, maintaining safety, and providing emotional and behavioral support. These roles strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to respond calmly and effectively in challenging situations. I also hold a bachelor's degree in sociology, which has given me a deeper understanding of human behavior, social systems, and the importance of individualized support. Together, my hands-on experience and academic background allow me to provide compassionate, structured, and person-centered care.
