Dynamic student and working professional with an array of experience in different settings both professionally and personally. I am motivated to learn and grow in any area that I can and appreciate feedback. I am well-versed and competent in many areas, especially within psychological/behavioral health areas. Compassion and empathy are strong values that I carry in assisting and supporting others within the workplace whether they be students/patients or coworkers. Being quick to learn and determined allow me to be incredibly versatile in different tasks and areas. Working in educational settings have provided me with a well-rounded understanding of diversity among individuals, family systems, trauma history, and behavioral challenges as well as working with various populations and parents. My experience in Marketing has allowed me to be fluid in my skills using different technological platforms such as adobe applications, microsoft applications, and google based applications. My work is where my heart is and I plan to grow and make change in any way that I can.
I successfully completed a year long internship from 2019-2020 working under the Director of Pupil Services in the Avon Public Schools district in Avon, CT where I gained a large scope and insight into psychological and achievement testing protocols/procedures, along with the specific structure, process and implementation of IEPs and 504 plans. Involvement in district meetings was fundamental in my understanding of special education and its many qualifications.
During this internship I was a presenter for the district's professional development in November, where I presented on social-emotional learning for roughly one hundred teachers and professionals throughout the district.
