What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, student-centered role where I can apply special education, behavior support, and clinical skills to improve student outcomes and contribute to a multidisciplinary team.

I am a compassionate intervention specialist with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering specially designed instruction, developing and monitoring IEPs, and providing behavior intervention and social-emotional support. I blend classroom expertise with clinical skills gained from roles in nursing and chiropractic support to create inclusive, student-centered learning environments that promote measurable progress.

My background includes UFLI-endorsed reading interventions, EMR documentation experience (Medent), and administrative coordination. I am collaborative, organized, and committed to problem solving alongside multidisciplinary teams to ensure positive outcomes for students and patients.
