With my training as a Registered Behavioral Technician, I am highly skilled in positive reinforcement, observation, and individualized support strategies. I am organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with the ability to anticipate family needs, multitask efficiently, and maintain a polished, professional standard at all times.
