Summary

With over a decade of experience in the field of developmental and behavioral disabilities, my passion for this work has only grown stronger. I specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis and have extensive knowledge of autism spectrum disorder. As an Elementary School (ASD) teacher, my primary focus is on creating Behavior Intervention Plans for children, using ABA therapy to achieve positive outcomes and effective solutions. My exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail complement my strong verbal and written communication abilities. What truly drives me in this profession is my genuine love for making a meaningful impact on the lives of these children. Additionally, I bring a wealth of experience as a dedicated teacher who excels at developing and implementing diverse curriculums covering various subjects. I am highly skilled at motivating students through positive encouragement and reinforcement of concepts via interactive classroom instruction and observation. My success lies in helping students develop strong literacy, numeracy, social, and learning skills.
