I have experience working in school environments with ages k-12 as well as experience playing and coaching sports (Unified Sports and Swimming). When working in the school system I spent 6 years as a special needs paraprofessional and would be happy to assist with distance learning. I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a focus on children and families, recently completed my Masters Degree in Social Work and am a certified School Social Worker. Currently I am a full time Milieu Counselor at an adolescent residential facility and have Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays available.
