Summary

Motivated by the unique way children experience the world, I am seeking a new path to support neurodivergent kids in sensory-friendly, inclusive spaces. With lived experience as a parent and classroom volunteer, I bring empathy, patience, creativity, and a deep respect for each child's individuality. Currently training as an RBT to build skills in behavior support and child development.
