Skills

  • Attention to detail has been critical in the complexity of design and development of multi-sensory environments
  • I trained new staff in all aspects including sales, design, customer service and training
  • Once sensory equipment has been fully installed in a Snoezelen room, I provided an in-depth training course educating the customer's staff on how to effectively use the space and equipment to see the most positive outcomes with their clients
  • Client relationships were built and nurtured over time as the projects of creating multi-sensory environments typically take many months or longer than a year from beginning to completion
