What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact, focusing on client-centered care and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with over 5 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), psychology, and social work. My expertise lies in designing and implementing individualized behavioral interventions for children and adults with developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am adept at conducting psychological assessments and providing therapeutic counseling, ensuring that each client’s emotional, social, and behavioral needs are met.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to create a holistic approach to care. I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment that promotes personal growth, resilience, and well-being. My experience includes working as an ABA Therapist, where I implement behavior intervention plans and monitor client progress, as well as serving as a social worker for refugee children, advocating for their rights and connecting them with essential resources.
