My past experience includes job coaching for Elmbrook schools, where I took students in the individualized education program (IEP) to various job sites in the community so that they could learn valuable vocational skills to add to their resumes. Before I was a job coach, I worked in both classrooms and in a transition program, supporting students and helping them develop life skills such as shopping, cooking, cleaning and (most important) having fun in the community. I also supported five differently-abled young adults as they transitioned to independent living in their own apartments. I have worked with a variety of adults with different abilities to help them learn skills and live their best life.
