I'm a compassionate Direct Support Professional (DSP) with 8 years of caregiving experience and a passion for helping others. I'm reliable, intuitive, and hands-on. In addition to my professional experience, I've spent decades working with children and adult family members struggling with ADHD, ASD, cognitive disabilities, mental illness, and physical health issues. My own lived experiences give me great empathy for my clients and their families. My energy is positive, my patience is endless. I've been described as unflappable. I love getting to know my clients, building a foundation of safety and trust. I strive to foster growth, independence, and a sense of community for my clients. But above all else, I seek to support them in living a life filled with meaning and joy.
