I have extensive experience supporting children, particularly those with special needs, in both community and healthcare settings. As an Autism Support Assistant at Kerry’s Place Autism Services, I provide direct, hands-on support to children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), implementing individualized support plans to foster independence, communication, and daily living skills. I utilize evidence-based behavioral strategies to manage challenging behaviors while encouraging positive social interactions in a safe and inclusive environment. My role also involves assisting with personal care, meal preparation, and recreational activities, ensuring that each child is engaged, comfortable, and supported. Additionally, my experience with Active Lives has allowed me to work closely with children requiring specialized care, adapting activities to accommodate their unique needs. Beyond community-based autism support, I also have experience in a healthcare setting as a Pediatric Neurology Nurse, where I provide critical care and specialized medical support to children with neurological conditions. In this role, I assess and monitor patients, manage complex medical needs, and collaborate with neurologists, therapists, and multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement care plans. I am skilled in administering medications, monitoring seizures, and responding to neurological emergencies, ensuring that each child receives the highest standard of care. My ability to integrate medical expertise with compassionate, individualized support allows me to provide a well-rounded, holistic approach to pediatric care, whether in a clinical or community setting.
