Summary

As a Spring, 2022 college graduate, I aspire to become a counselor or therapist. Professionally, I’ve worked as a behavior technician with autism students. Although I’ve enjoyed this challenging and rewarding position, I’m interested in pursuing full-time employment assisting various populations in different industries. I enjoy serving and assisting people in any capacity.
