About Kristen

My name is Kristen and I have 6 years experience working in a special education classroom. I also worked for two years at a disability agency caring for an individual in his home. Finally, I have 3 years experience at an adult day facility. These positions have taught me to be patient, compassionate and attentive. I am very adaptable to situations and accommodate changes and needs well. Starting work at the adult day facility really pushed me to be motivated helping others and being a caregiver. I find joy in being a part of helping another individual. I am proud of turning an uncontrollable student into one of the model students. I was determined to find out the reasoning of the behaviors which turned out to be a communication issue. Once I programmed his device used as a talker behaviors decreased dramatically. I am determined to find solutions to better the life of those I serve.
