I support students’ academic, behavioral, developmental, and physical needs in inclusive classroom environments.
What I'm looking for
I've supported students across developmental kindergarten, middle school, and therapeutic school settings, providing individualized academic, behavioral, developmental, and physical support. At Merritt Elementary, I work with special education staff to help students participate safely and independently in classroom routines and learning.
I also bring patient services, regulatory documentation, document control, and National Guard experience. I'm known for maintaining confidentiality, accurate records, calm de-escalation, and dependable support under pressure.
