Summary

I am a dedicated and reliable caregiver with a strong foundation in supporting children with physical and developmental challenges, including daily care for an 8-year-old with quadriplegic cerebral palsy. My experience extends to nannying, youth camp counseling, and managing retail teams, all of which have strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and a DEC in Social Sciences and Mathematics, and I am continually seeking opportunities to grow outside of my education, such as learning American Sign Language to better support diverse needs. My hands-on experience and commitment to learning have shaped a deep interest in rehabilitation sciences, and I’m eager to build on this foundation through advanced study, research and training.
