Worked directly with children and their families to support behavioral and developmental goals in home, school, and community settings. Built strong relationships with caregivers and team members by communicating clearly, listening carefully, and adapting approaches to fit each situation. Tracked progress, documented observations, and shared updates in a way that helped others understand what was working and what needed adjustment. Learned to stay patient, observant, and flexible while supporting individuals with very different needs and personalities.

Worked directly with children and their families in home and school settings, focusing on helping each child grow in ways that were meaningful for them and their daily life. Took time to really listen to families about what they were experiencing and what goals mattered most to them, then worked with supervisors and team members to adjust strategies so support felt more realistic and helpful. Paid close attention to each child’s progress and behavior patterns, and used that information to advocate for changes when something was not working. This role taught me how important it is to meet people where they are, communicate clearly, and build trust so families feel supported rather than overwhelmed.

Work with local families and the broader community to help them understand and feel comfortable hosting international students. Create flyers, social posts, and outreach materials that explain the program in a clear and welcoming way. Spend time answering questions, listening to concerns, and helping families decide whether hosting is a good fit for them. Share real stories about students and host families so people can picture what the experience is actually like. This role has strengthened my ability to communicate across cultures, build trust, and present information in a way that feels personal rather than scripted.
