What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, student-centered role in schools or clinics where I can apply bilingual SLPA and ABA skills to drive measurable communication gains and mentor therapy staff.

I am a bilingual Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) with experience delivering evidence-based interventions in school and clinical settings. I have a strong background in ABA principles and over six years working with children across developmental levels.

My experience includes managing caseloads of 50+ students, conducting informal assessments, collecting progress data, and tailoring therapy to meet IEP goals. I collaborate closely with teachers, parents, BCBAs, and SLPs to promote functional communication across environments.

I have served as a senior Registered Behavior Technician and lead trainer, successfully guiding therapists toward RBT certification while maintaining precise clinical documentation and safety-focused practices. I am adaptable under pressure and committed to fostering student-centered, culturally responsive sessions in both English and Spanish.

I hold a B.A. in Communicative Disorders and an SLPA license, and I prioritize building supportive environments where students feel empowered to communicate confidently and make measurable progress.
