About
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, and bring experience supporting students with intensive needs, coordinating services, and maintaining detailed records in public education and Los Angeles County government. This opportunity interests me because it brings together the parts of my work I value most: helping people receive appropriate support, working closely with a team, and following through on the details that make services effective.
Experience
Educational Assistant in Intensive Support - Glendale Unified School District
I worked directly with students who needed individualized instructional and behavioral assistance. I helped teachers carry out IEP supports, provided one-on-one assistance during lessons and daily routines, and adjusted my approach to each student’s needs under teacher direction. I recorded observations about participation and behavior and shared updates with the educational team.
When students needed additional support, I used established de-escalation and safety procedures. That experience taught me to pay attention to small changes, respond patiently, and recognize how much consistent communication matters to a student’s progress.
Adult Protective Services - Los Angeles County
I organize confidential records, prepare assessments and reports, coordinate with healthcare providers and community agencies, and track outstanding requests through completion.
Eligibility Worker II - Los Angeles County
I helped individuals and families navigate public assistance programs, explained requirements clearly, and resolved missing or conflicting information. Both roles required sound judgment, careful listening, and the ability to manage competing deadlines while remaining responsive to the person seeking help.
