I am currently a Personal Agent, or case manager, for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. This position is very fulfilling, as I can advocate and empower adults who may or may not have been previously discouraged from various aspects of living the life they want to live. I also have over 2 years of experience as a one on one aid, in my previous position as a Behavioral Therapist at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders. In this position I was required to find different ways of verbal and nonverbal communication with children diagnosed on the autism spectrum.
Communication - throughout my education and employmen experience I have learned to communicate with people using all different means of communication. I am a great active listener.
Adovacy - in my current position I have been able to advocat for people who have historically not done this for themselves.
