With over 18 years of experience in social services and community support, I am passionate about providing compassionate, dependable care for individuals with special needs and developmental disabilities. I have supported children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds with daily living skills, emotional well-being, behavior support, communication, and community integration. My background includes experience as a caregiver, youth specialist, employment specialist, and community advocate. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Services & Psychology, a Master's in Clinical Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a Master's in Forensic Psychology. I am also certified in Adult First Aid/CPR/AED. Families describe me as patient, compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable.
