Summary

As a dedicated former preschool teacher for 3 years, I'm now eager to leverage my strong communication and problem-solving skills in a new career path. Although I'm new to the field, I'm a quick leamer with a detail-oriented mindset, and I'm excited to apply my skills in a professional setting. I'm excited about the opportunity to grow and develop in this field and make a meaningful contribution to the organization. Throughout my teaching career, I've worked closely with many autistic children and saw firsthand how much they struggled without the proper support.

This experience inspired me to pursue a career as a Rbt where I can provide children with the individualized care, attention, and support they deserve. I'm very passionate about helping children reach their full potential and committed to continuing my profession growth in the field of behavioral health !
