I take great pride and joy in nurturing and engaging people with special needs. I have 5 years experience with applied behavior analysis as a registered behavior technician. I have experience with food expansion therapy, potty training, ASL, AAC/speech devices, teaching daily living skills, behavior and emotion regulation skills, communication verbal and non-verbal, and much more. I love getting to know those I work with and building trusting relationships. It's important to appreciate and encourage people for who they are while helping them to grow emotionally, socially, and cognitively, not trying to change who they are! I am trained and certified in behavior crisis training, meaning I can help keep everyone safe in the event of more severe behaviors. I am a Registered Behavior Technician, as well as CPR & first aid certified.
