What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can provide organized, compassionate support, collaborate with a team, maintain accurate documentation, and help people succeed in a structured, inclusive environment.

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.
