What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply behavior-analytic skills, clinical interviewing, and recruitment support in a collaborative, client-centered setting with growth opportunities.

I am a behavioral health professional with hands-on experience conducting clinical interviews, providing direct behavior-analytic services, and supporting recruitment and administrative operations. I combine structured data collection, evidence-based behavior interventions, and strong interpersonal skills to support clients, families, and hiring teams.

I have worked as a Clinical Interviewer and Behavior Technician, building rapport with diverse populations, adapting communication using PEC systems and basic sign language, and delivering actionable recommendations from interview and observational data. I hold certifications in CPR/First Aid, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, and Adult Mental Health First Aid, and I leverage ATS tools and data analysis to improve hiring and client outcomes.
