I am a New York State certified Educational Counselor with a Master's Degree and concentration in Special Education. During my time working for the NYC Department of Education, I was lucky enough to have worked with students of diverse backgrounds, ages and populations, as well as an array of learning delays and disabilities. I specialize in DIR Floortime and Reflex Integration education models. It is through this experience that special education has truly become my passion. Alongside working in the public sector, I also have five years experience working for private families in NYC, both part time and full time. It is due to this experience that I have gained an acute sense of family needs and assistance, and am able to provide household support in conjunction with the education and care of children and young adults (both neuro-typical and atypical), as well as have experience in estate management and maintenance.
