What I'm looking for

I seek roles supporting students with special needs where I can lead program delivery, collaborate with teams, and drive measurable student growth in inclusive, supportive environments.

I am a compassionate, results-driven professional with hands-on experience in child development, special education support, and program leadership. I implement individualized programs and support students with diverse needs, emphasizing measurable progress and dignity.

My background spans school-based support, after-school programming, and operational management in education and hospitality settings. I have led teams, managed budgets and schedules, and trained staff to deliver high-quality services across multiple sites.

Notable achievements include coordinating sports-focused curricula that integrate social-emotional learning, supporting students with complex medical and behavioral needs, and improving operational efficiency through staff development and process oversight.

I am completing a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and hold a BA in Child Psychology, which strengthens my applied skills in assessment, intervention planning, and caregiver collaboration. I bring strong communication, data collection, and program implementation skills to roles that center on student growth and inclusive services.
