About Marissa

I am a New York State certified teacher for grades 1-6 with a genuine love for working with children. I bring over 15 years of experience supporting children with autism, including extensive work in ABA-based settings focused on behavior reduction and increasing communication. I believe in creating structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. My approach is patient, compassionate, and individualized, and I take great pride in helping children build confidence, skills, and independence.
