Compassionate Registered Behavior Technician transitioning into nursing and patient-centered care.

What I'm looking for

I seek patient-centered roles in supportive, interdisciplinary teams where I can apply ABA and caregiving skills while advancing nursing education toward an RN.

I am a compassionate Registered Behavior Technician with over 3,800 hours of hands-on experience delivering direct patient care in behavioral and developmental health settings. I specialize in ABA-based interventions, individualized behavior support plans, ADL assistance, de-escalation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to promote safety and independence.

Currently transitioning into nursing with CNA training and plans to pursue an RN through Lewis-Clark College, I have led small teams, maintained detailed clinical documentation, and provided private caregiving and educational support. I bring strong communication, empathy, and a proven ability to coordinate care with families and clinical teams to improve client outcomes.
