Summary

I am a dedicated and organized individual with experience in working with children under several eligibility categories, including: AUT, OHI, SLI, HI, VI, SLD, and ID. My experience has granted me the opportunity to work with students of all ages across home, school, and community settings. My exposure to counseling, assessments, consultation, and collaboration will be invaluable as I begin my first year as a school psychologist. Empathetic, hard-working, reliable, and always learning, I aspire to offer support and assistance to the students and staff within your district.
