Dedicated professional in behavioral support and special education.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate advocate for individuals with special needs, dedicated to creating supportive and inclusive environments. With a Bachelor of Science in Adult and Organizational Development from Temple University, I have honed my skills in behavioral support and program development. My experience includes working as a Contract Trainer at People R Us Residential Facility, where I developed behavioral support plans and facilitated training sessions focused on fitness and pronoun sensitivity.
In my previous role as a Special Education Professional, I provided one-on-one support to students in Autistic Support classrooms, effectively de-escalating conflicts and fostering a positive learning atmosphere. I have a strong background in collaborating with families and professionals to ensure the best outcomes for students, utilizing techniques such as Applied Behavioral Analysis to enhance learning experiences. My commitment to professional development is evident through my participation in trauma-informed training sessions and my ability to create visual learning environments that cater to diverse learning needs.
