Re: Psychology Adjunct
To Whom It May Concern -
I am seasoned professional with over 10 years of personal and professional experience
with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Early Intervention, Special Education, NYC School District
75, Individualized Educational Plan, Individualized Family Support Plan, Service Coordinators
and Office with People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). I am very eager to utilize
my academic knowledge by becoming experienced in the field.
Previously, I was an Initial/Ongoing Early Intervention Service Coordinator. In addition,
I am also a steady adjunct with Boricua College teaching Intro to Psychology, Abnormal
Psychology and Developmental Psychology and Touro College teaching Special Education and
Early Childhood Education. I also volunteer with HeartShare working with the mentally ill
population (e.g. Schizophrenia, Bipolar and Depression). I have lead workshops with Goodwin
& Associates and with Harlem Children Zone consisting of behavioral management in autism
and children developmental disabilities. My interdisciplinary undergraduate degree is a
concentration of Psychology, Special Education and Disability Law. I possess a Master in Art in
Disability Studies.
I have attached my resume, including references, for your review. If you have any
additional requests, please do not hesitate to contact me via telephone, 917-***-****; or e.mail
(*********@*****.***), which is my best medium of communication. I look forward to
scheduling an interview.
Kind regards,
