What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can provide clinical and educational support in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment, leveraging bilingual skills and therapeutic experience.

I am a qualified psychologist and educator with practical experience in clinical support, therapeutic programs, and bilingual classroom instruction. I bring strong creative and analytical skills, an eye for detail, and a dependable work ethic.

In clinical and therapeutic settings I have supported clients to confront relationship and life challenges, implemented individualized treatment plans overseen by licensed therapists, and assisted in therapeutic riding programs for veterans and children with special needs.

As an educator and tutor I have created individualized lesson plans, taught kindergarten and 6th grade English, and provided virtual instruction and assessments using Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and CRM tools. I maintain clear communication with families and students from diverse backgrounds.

I am seeking diverse opportunities that expand my professional capacities and foster personal growth, bringing adaptability, strong communication, and detailed record-keeping to multidisciplinary teams.
