Summary
With over a decade of experience supporting at-risk youth in residential treatment settings, I have developed strong skills in trauma-informed care, behavior management, and crisis intervention for children and adolescents ages 8-18. In my current role as a substitute teacher, I effectively manage diverse classrooms, reinforce instruction, and create structured, supportive learning environments. Additionally, my administrative experience has strengthened my ability to manage documentation, coordinate communication, and maintain organized systems, allowing me to contribute efficiently in both educational and office-based settings.
