• Supported individualized education plans by assisting students with academic tasks and behavioral challenges.
• Collaborated with teachers to develop instructional materials tailored to diverse learning needs.
• Implemented classroom management strategies to promote a positive learning environment for students.
• Tracked behavior patterns that helped inform our plans and strategies for the students.
• My classroom I worked in for the last two school years was for students between the ages 16 to 21 and focused on teaching life skills and preparing students for working jobs after they graduate. Our ultimate goal was to encourage independence for our students whenever possible.

-In my early years working at Innabah I primarily worked as a lifeguard and as a kitchen assistant. I have moved away from being a lifeguard in favor of being a counselor but I still sometimes work in the kitchen for weekend retreats during the winter months.

- Camp Innabah features many different camps for adults with intellectual disabilities of ranging abilities. At Innabah we refer to these camps collectively as "Challenge Camp". I began working as a Camp Counselor for these camps in the summer of 2008. In this role I supervised daily camp activities and lead different games and activities from the time we wake up in the morning until bedtime. I assist my campers who are assigned to my cabin with whatever tasks they may need support with throughout the day. As a Camp Counselor im expected to facilitate a fun and safe environment for our campers.

- For the past three summers I have also taken on the role of "Program Director" for a week of Challenge Camp. In this role I make my camps schedule for the week, I am in charge of all the counselors working with my camp and I am ultimately responsible for all the Campers within my camp, not just the campers within my cabin.

- From the years 2013 to 2022 I was not officially on Camp Innabah's staff but I volunteered as a counselor at least one week per summer during those years. I rejoined Camp Innabahs staff the summer of 2023 and have worked summers there since.
