Summary

I am a dedicated paraeducator with a strong background in Special Education at San Diego Unified School District. I specialize in behavior support and enhancing learning strategies, and I take great pride in delivering personalized support that helps students achieve significant progress in their IEP goals. I’m also skilled in working with parents and using nonviolent crisis intervention to ensure the comprehensive educational and emotional development of each student. With over seven years of experience as a Special Education Paraprofessional, I’ve had the privilege of aiding instructors in the classroom and promoting individualized learning techniques. My goal is always to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student can thrive.
