What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a compassionate direct support or special education role where I can apply hands-on care, behavior strategy implementation, and academic support within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a dedicated, resourceful direct support professional with 5+ years’ experience providing personal care and academic support to individuals with disabilities in home, school, and community settings. I implement behavior strategies and IEP goals, maintain detailed care documentation, and have demonstrated leadership and client-focus across retail and hospitality roles.

I excel in one-on-one and small-group supports, blending compassion with clear oral and written communication to improve social, communication, and life skills. I look to make a measurable difference by providing reliable, person-centered care within a collaborative team.
