Dear Reader,
It is my goal to work in a diverse, friendly, learning environment. I feel I have much to offer and still more to learn. It is my personal/professional belief that in order to gain trust you must earn it and I make every effort to create a foundation of trust for my students/clients and fellow co-workers.
I also appreciate an environment that works as a team, with the best interest of the child in mind. I am a child advocate and appreciate an environment that respects the individual needs of each student and considers my input and observations.

I am presently employed by the State of Colorado as a one-on-one Consultant and caregiver for families with in-home needs. I work with a 19 year old boy, non-verbal autistic and has epilepsy.
