What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly role where I can lead curriculum and education improvement using evidence-based practices, while supporting client outcomes through compassionate, CBT-informed counseling and structured assessments.

I’m a detail-oriented Director with 6 years of experience in educational consulting and mental health counseling. I combine evidence-based curriculum development with research to enhance program effectiveness, while tailoring teaching strategies to diverse learning needs.

In remote roles, I’ve designed and revised curriculum materials aligned to learning objectives and standards, built clear learning outcomes, and used assessments to evaluate impact. I also support stakeholders through comprehensive reports, summaries, and ongoing curriculum improvement initiatives.

Alongside education work, I provide therapeutic support using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, including intake assessments, clinical documentation, and client education on coping skills. I’m committed to fostering educational growth and mental well-being in remote settings, and I enjoy refining approaches based on feedback and performance data.
