Summary

I enjoy working with children and for the past twelve years I have worked in schools and clinical settings to help students reach their full potential. I am interested in becoming a teacher and I look forward to using my past experiences to help children to achieve all goals. Also, I am a passionate professional with experience serving patients with diverse needs by applying behavior modification strategies such as shaping and chaining. However, I have demonstrated understanding of data collection and record keeping requirements to show progress of each patient. I have always promoted academic, functional and social skills development within clinic, home and community environments. In doing so, I believe this is a path forward to innovation learning within our societies.
