I’m a direct support staff with more than five years experience supporting independent living, job placement, interpersonal and self advocacy skills for people with developmental disabilities. I’m organized, professional and crisis intervention trained with a people first training background. I excel in fast paced environments and learning to develop professional connections unique to the person to help support their individual needs and personal development. I would love to bring my years of experience to the Exhilaration Station as a coordinator. Professional Experience
