I have experience working with individuals with special needs across a variety of settings. As a general and special education teacher, I have supported children with diverse learning, communication, and behavioral needs by using individualized strategies to help them succeed. I have also worked with adults in a group home, assisting with daily living skills and providing support to promote independence and quality of life. In addition, I have experience working with the homeless population and providing care to seniors, which has strengthened my ability to work with individuals across the lifespan with patience, empathy, and understanding.
