My journey into this field began with a guest speaker at my ASL and Deaf Studies program at Vancouver Community College. I had always known I wanted to be a one-on-one support and resource for children who need that dedicated presence to achieve milestones in their everyday lives — so I applied for my first Behaviour Interventionist position, and the rest is herstory.

fter completing my masters program, I joined a private clinic in Dublin, working alongside a Psychologist and Behaviour Specialist. Throughout my career I have supported children in the areas of language development, academic skills, daily living, and social-emotional learning — always working to meet each child exactly where they are. What I love most is finding the way that child learns best, and then watching what happens next. When a child acquires a new skill in a way that truly works for them, their confidence grows, their self-esteem lifts, and their sense of what they are capable of begins to bloom. That moment never gets old — and it's exactly that moment of magic that fuels my hunger to keep learning, keep growing, and keep creating more opportunities for every child and family I work with.
