What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to advocate for children and support their emotional and practical needs in a collaborative environment.

I am a Registered Behavior Technician with 5 years of experience supporting children with disabilities and emotional/behavioral challenges. My background as a Master Cosmetologist for 15 years allows me to blend empathy and creativity, helping clients feel valued and understood. My commitment to inclusivity drives me to meet the emotional and practical needs of those I assist.

Recently, I was sworn in as a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for Houston County, where I advocate for children in foster care, ensuring their voices are heard and that they have a safe and nurturing environment to thrive. Advocating for others isn’t just a career choice for me; it’s my calling. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed and I strive to make a positive impact in their lives.
