For more than 10 years, I have worked with children, young adults, and adults who need additional support developing confidence, independence, and everyday life skills. My experience includes supporting individuals with I/DD and autism in educational, residential, fitness, and community settings. I understand that every individual learns and communicates differently. I use a patient, encouraging, and person-centered approach to help with independent living skills, social and communication skills, community safety, transportation, health and wellness, exercise, and personal development. My background as a Skills Instructor, Social Coach, Personal Trainer, Travel Training Specialist, and Certified Mandt Instructor allows me to provide both practical instruction and compassionate support. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with your loved one while helping them become more confident, capable, and independent in everyday life.
