Summary
People focused, and solution oriented. I have worked for over 10 years advocating for people. From modifying assignments for students with IEP's to implementing ABA skills with youth, to managing group home with adults. I take on the challenge of creating an inclusive world personally, realizing that we are all just one accident away from needing the services that we provide for others as a constant reminder to be graceful while I am working. I am a team player, always willing to learn, and always willing to share. I genuinely love what I do .

Caregiving
During the gaps in my employment I was home caring for my disabled mother, as well as assisting my brother and his children before his transition. All of which required my full attention and came about unexpectedly. I would be more than happy to discuss further in person.
