What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine compassionate caregiving with education-style support—helping people feel safe, engaged, and understood—while working in a collaborative team that values communication, organization, and adaptability.

I’m a motivated, compassionate professional blending caregiving with education and behavioral support. In caregiver roles, I provide ongoing, person-centered assistance for individuals with Rett Syndrome and dementia, focusing on safety, daily routines, and dignity.

I also bring classroom experience as a PE teacher substitute and as a special education instructional assistant/teacher (Pre-K through high school), adapting instruction to students’ diverse needs while maintaining a positive learning environment. With an academic foundation in psychology, leadership, biopsychology, and occupational therapy preparation, plus experience supporting youth through soccer coaching and early intervention, I’m driven by teamwork, communication, and adapting quickly in patient-centered settings.
