What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact in mental health, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

I am an empathetic and resourceful human services professional with over 5 years of experience supporting diverse populations across housing, behavioral health, and education sectors. My expertise lies in case management, client advocacy, and behavioral therapy, where I have demonstrated a proven ability to build rapport and navigate complex systems to foster sustainable progress for individuals and families.

Currently, I work as a Behavior Technician at The Language and Behavior Center, where I provide individualized ABA therapy and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design engaging interventions. I am also pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which allows me to combine academic insight with hands-on experience to drive meaningful, client-focused outcomes.
