Strategic Fixer|Behavior Trend Analyst|Education Management|Organizational Change|Restorative Justice Advocate ๐BS Speech &Language Pathology ๐MS Psychology-Applied Behavior Analysis My motto when taking on new clients whether its an individual, family, or an organization is to be a *focused๐๐พ, *keen ๐, and keep a *closed ๐. ๐ฃTalking is for sharing knowledge, techniques, and insights...it is impossible to do that without first listening and observing. You need a panoramic ๐ชview of the situation. ๐๐พI believe in taking time to learn the culture of any new space I enter. ๐๐พ๐๐ Auditory & Visual learner ๐๐(hence my love for this new platform!). I provide training and teaching through modeling. I donโt believe in the saying โyou can lead a ๐ to ๐ง but canโt make them drinkโ. I believe we all get thirsty!

I have had success with restructuring the thinking of staff that were described as โstuck in their waysโ or โold schoolโ. When asked what I did my response was โ Iโm a behavior warrior๐ธ๐พwith Jedi mind tricksโ. ๐คฃ My top two favorite school setting contracts have been- 1-Alternative students. Most of them were gang related. Had hurt several staff members prior to and while I was an employee. I have so many success stories! *Ask me to share! 2-Montessori school teachers. Happiest environment Iโve ever worked in! A little tough to get them to do any techniques that arenโt directly Montessori created. *Ask me how I helped them achieve success! Part of my support involves a generalization plan. This way those I help use those skills across settings in their life or organization. A way to pay it forward ๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐. One of my goals is to establish a program that provides behavior based transition plans for woman in domestic violence shelters. Guide them to seeing the ๐ช๐ฟ ๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฝ๐ช๐พ, independent, and powerful๐ธ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฝ๐ธ๐พ๐ธ๐ผ๐ธ๐ป๐ธ they are! People see the scars and bruises but the effects of emotional and psychological abuse creates learned behavioral habits. Habits that can keep them entering new phases of the same vicious cycle.
