Summary

I have worked as a passionate and dedicated teaching assistant in the field of special education for many years. I first was introduced to this world as a part of my ABA coursework while studying psychology at Binghamton University. It was here that I first fell in love with the thrill of helping an individual to achieve their fullest potential and meet their goals. Through my experience, I have learned to remain positive and resilient under times of stress or conflict. I have vast experience in behavior intervention strategies and have worked with students across a broad range of ages and abilities. I am an organized and dependable candidate who takes pride in my ability to manage multiple priorities and difficult situations with a positive attitude. I know and value the importance of patience, collaboration, and teamwork in this field.
