I have a strong background in child development with experience using ABA-informed strategies, AAC supports, and ASL to support communication and emotional regulation. I've completed QBS safety training and work from a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming lens. As a caregiver with lived experience managing diabetes, I bring empathy, reliability, and medical awareness to my work. I value play-based learning, including neuro-vagogistic play theory, and prioritize safety, connection, and individualized support for every child.
