Summary
I am an experienced LPN with 24 years of experience. Over these years I have worked as a nurse in a variety of different areas. My favorite being an accomplished SpEd Paraprofessional and Public-School Nurse. I have a proven track record at Irwin County Schools, enhancing student wellness and learning outcomes. Expert in special education strategies and patient empathy, I significantly improved classroom engagement and health management. Skilled in behavioral interventions and sensory integration, my collaborative efforts ensured compliance and supported diverse student needs.
During covid, Irwin County Schools received a grant for the short term LPN position. I was able to float between Elementary school and Middle/High School to assist and fill in for the RN'S.
