Maria Figueroa

I am passionate about learning; I am very excited to learn new things and be curious

I have a personality where I adapt very quickly to situations, and I know how to be decisive.

I like to meet people from all over the world and be able to establish a bond with them.

My best virtues are empathy and generosity.

I like to travel whenever I have the opportunity and time to do so.

I work in schools and therapeutic centers participating as a support teacher where I accompany children and young people with disabilities.

I work in the office where I perform evaluations and psychopedagogical treatment in children from 2 to 18 years of age.

Also worked in a workshop for children, where I carried out recreational and pedagogical activities for children from 4 to 12 years of age.

I did professional internships at the Integrar and Aprender a Ser therapeutic center, where I developed personal projects for young adults with disabilities.

I am currently living my experience as an au pair in New York, where I take care of and assist a 14 year old teenager with no-verbal autism.I have gone through this experience almost 2 years ; and I am three months away from completing my program (Dec 2024)

I am an educational psychologist, and I have been working with children with autism and other disabilities since 2020 at the University Instituto Catolico Superior in Cordoba, Argentina.
