What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that utilizes my skills and experience to make a positive impact on individuals' lives, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

As a compassionate and experienced direct support professional, I have dedicated my career to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities and special needs. With a strong background in providing personalized care and support, I have honed my skills in administering medication, tracking vital signs, and assisting with daily living activities. My extensive experience in working with residents with seizures, VNS devices, and other medical conditions has equipped me with the knowledge and patience to provide exceptional care.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including Community Options, Life's WORC, and Fairview Nursing Care Center, where I have demonstrated my ability to work effectively with individuals with autism, providing them with the necessary tools to improve their communication skills and achieve their goals. I am committed to providing high-quality care and support, ensuring that each individual receives the attention and respect they deserve.

In addition to my direct support experience, I have also held supervisory roles, where I have managed facility staff, overseen clinical programming, and provided staff training and mentoring. I am confident in my ability to work effectively in fast-paced environments, prioritizing tasks and managing multiple responsibilities with ease.
