Summary

Dynamic professional with a strong background in compassionate care and business management. As the owner of Grace & Mae Designs, I enhanced customer satisfaction through relationship building and efficient processes. Skilled in behavior and emotional support, I excel in multitasking and problem-solving, ensuring optimal outcomes for children and their families. I am a kind-hearted and patient person. I will provide a supported environment for any and all children. I believe very strongly in providing a strong connection with children and will provide a safe place and emotional support to all students. Providing strong collaboration with staff to meet student needs. Having a daughter with special needs has transformed me into a go-with-the flow attitude and I have become a very well-rounded, can-do-it-all person. I have learned so much about Autism and neurodivergence in the last year and I am very excited to apply that knowledge to staff and help them where I am able. I am eager to help any and all students that I encounter.
