I aspire to become a K-5 special education teacher while advancing my studies in behavioral analytics at George Mason University. My goal is to promote diverse teaching methods that accommodate students’ individual needs in the classroom. Ultimately, I aim to become a behavioral specialist, advocating for inclusive and adaptive learning approaches.
I have over nine years of experience working with children aged 4 to 15 on a case-by-case basis. I have contributed to the development of therapeutic plans for children facing severe trauma, neglect, and neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders. My work includes both one-on-one and small group interventions, focusing on rebuilding self-esteem and promoting positive coping skills through reinforcement-based strategies.
