Summary
I am currently working as a Behavior Technician at Alee Behavioral Healthcare. Im passionate about working with children especially those who struggle with disabilities and delayed development. My passion all started when I was 17, my first job was at a small camp for children with trauma, behavior issues, and behavior issues. Though I had a tough time working at that camp, it made me realize just how hard it is was for these children. Ever since then I've wanted to work with children and hope to provide the best support I can. I current go to school at Community College of Rhode Island. I major in Human Services, with a minor in Early Elementary Education. My goal is to someday be an elementary teacher.
