Experience

Hi! My name is Grace, and I am a Behavior Interventionist and Support Worker with experience teaching self-advocacy, independent living skills, social skills, and life skills to children and adults with disabilities. I am passionate about creating tailored resources that make learning both practical and fun, helping individuals build essential skills for a successful life.

Teaching style

My teaching style is collaborative and student-centered. I strive to create an environment where students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning. Through hands-on, interactive activities, I aim to make learning practical and applicable to everyday life. I am committed to providing resources that support independence, critical thinking, and self-advocacy.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of seeing my students achieve life-changing milestones, whether it's mastering a new skill, advocating for themselves in challenging situations, or taking steps toward independence. One shining moment that stands out is when a student confidently manded using yes-no verbally for the very first time on vacation with her family at the beach. Every child, no matter the win, deserves to be celebrated.

Additional biographical information

I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals in reaching their full potential. In addition to my work in education, I enjoy creating educational resources, crafting, spending time outdoors, going thrifting, and visiting the beach. I’m constantly inspired by the strength, resilience, and creativity of my students and the special education community as a whole and strive to integrate those values into my work.
