What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting children with special needs in educational or behavioral settings, using behavior intervention, data collection, crisis prevention, and individualized support.

At Harris Elementary through Amergis Healthcare Staffing, I support staff and students across the school with calm-down strategies, crisis prevention, and behavior intervention.

I've also supported autistic children through Autism Care Partners and Autism Learning Partners, collecting behavioral data, implementing individualized plans, and documenting progress. Across nearly 14 years in school settings, I've prioritized student safety, early learning, and inclusive support.
