What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered role where I can apply behavior management and instructional skills, collaborate with supportive teams, and grow professionally while improving youth outcomes.

I am a dedicated educator and behavioral specialist with extensive experience supporting children and adolescents across school and residential settings. I have worked as an extended day reading teacher, instructional facilitator, youth behavior specialist, and youth counselor, focusing on behavior management, individualized interventions, and family engagement to improve academic and social outcomes.

My background includes curriculum support, community outreach, virtual tutoring, patient services coordination, and music coaching, with strengths in leadership, communication, data collection, and program management. I bring hands-on experience implementing evidence-based strategies like applied behavior analysis, creating engaging lessons, and building strong relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
