What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to empower individuals and families, fostering a supportive environment that promotes mental health and well-being.

I am a dedicated and compassionate professional in mental health care, recognized for my high productivity and efficiency in task completion. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician has allowed me to provide one-on-one Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder, where I excel in implementing individualized behavior intervention strategies and collaborating with families to ensure consistent support.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in communication, empathy, and teamwork, which are essential in providing exceptional care and support. My role as a Family Advocate has further enhanced my ability to empower families by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to make informed decisions. I am committed to building trusting relationships with clients through active listening and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that their unique needs are met.
