What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead inclusive education programs, manage projects, and create impact-driven mental health content while collaborating with supportive teams.

I am a mental health consultant and project management professional with extensive experience in special needs education, counseling, and advocacy. I design and deliver inclusive programs, lead large special needs teams, and create digital content to educate parents and educators on child development and emotional wellbeing.

I have led school-wide special needs initiatives serving 100+ students, managed events and projects across educational and community settings, and built an engaged online audience through SEO-driven mental health content. I combine data-driven progress tracking with culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches to improve student outcomes and foster inclusive communities.
