Summary

I have experience with developing effective behavior intervention techniques, while focusing on creating and maintaining supportive environments for all students. I utilize evidence-based strategies to design and implement individualized behavior plans that foster positive behavioral changes. I use effective communication and collaboration methods to ensure successful outcomes for all students.


I've worked with students of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. I have a gift for having the ability of motivating unmotivated students and building a trust system. In the past I've worked with students that have endured harsh situations off campus. I often advocate for available resources and build powerful support network around those students in need .
