What I'm looking for

I am seeking a client-focused role using ABA and residential care skills, with collaborative teams, measurable outcomes, and growth opportunities.

I am a service-oriented Direct Support Professional and ABA Therapist with multi-year experience supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities, including autism. I have delivered individualized ABA interventions, interpreted assessment data, and developed programs that promote independence and social functioning.

I have hands-on experience administering medications, coordinating appointments, overseeing residential operations, and maintaining documentation and progress reports on required timelines. I hold AMAP, OSHA, CPR/AED, and SCIP certifications and regularly apply strong communication, time-management, and critical-thinking skills.

I am committed to creating safe, motivating environments that foster skill acquisition and quality-of-life improvements for clients and families. I seek roles where I can continue applying ABA strategies, contribute to team-driven care plans, and support measurable client progress.
