Summary

My passion in life is working with kids and helping them thrive, grow, and become successful in school. I have 13 years of experience in working with children who have mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. I have had the opportunity to work along with children with ASD and implement behavioral strategies as well as develop plans for success for these children. I take pride in helping these children on a daily basis and helping them succeed in the school setting. I have completed many courses for training in behavior strategies throughout the last 13 years. My present goal is to obtain my Behavior Technician Certification and work outside of the school system after hours in facilities and homes of children with ASD. In the near future, I plan to enroll into Clemson University's Behavioral Analysis Program where I will complete the required coursework to obtain my BCaBA, and further my career in working with children with ASD.
