Registered Behavior Technician implementing behavior treatment plans and data-driven progress tracking.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Behavior Technician implementing behavior treatment plans for children with autism by teaching communication, self help and social skills. I collect data, track client progress, and communicate updates to supervisors while handling challenging behaviors with quick thinking and a positive attitude.
I also bring strong teaching and engagement experience as a Teaching Artist, organizing weekly lessons and leading classes for over 300 students (K4 to 5th grade). I create welcoming environments where kids can build empathy, patience, and communication through music, and I meet students’ needs by redirecting conversations and activities.
My leadership background includes serving as House President/Residence Life Member, ensuring inclusivity, safety, and community on a floor of 40 females. I completed 100+ hours of emergency response and mental health training with FERPA compliance, managed a $1.5k budget and a team of five student leaders, and planned 15+ signature events while clearly communicating expectations and managing conflict.
