Summary
I hold a strong foundation in human development built through years of hands-on volunteer and interneship experience. My background includes group counseling support, behavioral observation and intervention in ABA settings, child development and care for neurodiverse children, peer advising for international students, and HR-focused support centered on well-being, conflict resolution, and team dynamics. Across these roles, I’ve developed strengths in active listening, crisis support, behavior analysis, emotional regulation strategies, cultural sensitivity, documentation, and ethical care. I bring empathy, structure, and reflective practice into every space I serve, with a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families through growth, transition, and healing.
